Using Hide-When Options to Hide Information on Forms

Many Domino design elements such as forms enable you to hide information based on the context in which it is displayed, or to use hide-when formulas to conditionally display information.

Virtually any information on a form can be hidden; just follow the steps below:

1.
Open the form in the Designer.

2.
Select an element on the form that should be hidden.

3.
Choose Text, Text Properties from the menu, which opens the Text properties box.

4.
Click the Hide tab (fifth tab), which displays the hide-when options, shown in Figure 6.12. Each of the options is explained in the following list.

  • Notes 4.6 or later When enabled, hides selected item from Notes client version 4.6 or higher.

  • Web browsers When enabled, hides selected item Web browsers.

  • Mobile When enabled, hides selected item from mobile clients.

  • Previewed for reading When enabled, hides selected item when form is opened in the Preview pane in Read mode.

  • Previewed for editing When enabled, hides selected item when form is opened in the Preview pane in Edit mode.

  • Opened for reading When enabled, hides selected item when form is opened in read mode.

  • Opened for editing When enabled, hides selected item when form is opened in Edit mode.

  • Printed When enabled, hides selected item when form is printed.

  • Copied to the clipboard When enabled, hides selected item when data is copied to the clipboard.

  • Embedded When enabled, hides selected item if the embedded editor was used to embed the item.

  • Hide paragraph if formula is true When enabled, enables the developer to specify a formula. If the formula evaluates to true, the item is hidden; otherwise it is not hidden.

Select appropriate hide-when options.

6.
Save the form.

For example, you might use a hide-when formula to ensure that a certain paragraph displays only for members of the Sales group. The following brief example illustrates a hide-when formula that hides an item if the current user is not using a Web browser.
