Restricting Access to certain TABs

Featured Replies

Hi, I am making a Filemaker solution for a horse yard and need to be able to restrict access to certain tabs on the home screen if the horse is not a livery.

 

How would this be done?

 

Thanks,

Conor :)

With internal FMP scripting and triggers you can control which tab the user can access and when they can access it

 

These are just some of the information resources available on the topic

Another idea is to not use the tab part of the tab panel for navigation, but rather "float" buttons near the tab panel. Then, with FM13, you can hide the buttons conditionally.

Keep in mind that "restricting access" to a part of a layout (such as a tab control pane) does not really restrict access to the data shown there.
