Hide a Field

You can hide a field from display when users should not be able to view a particular field on the page.

To hide a field from display

1. Click the tab and optional subtab for the object that you want to configure.
2. On the left, click CONFIGURE: ON.

   The configuration of the page is enabled.

3. In the Configuration Information area of the page, complete the following steps:
   1. Specify the information for the new global or local configuration, or select an existing configuration that you want to change.
   2. (Optional) In the Object drop-down list, select the part of the object that you want to configure. Any permission changes you make (for example, deny permissions to move a field) apply only to that part of the object.

      For example, when configuring a legal document, you select Legaldoc Status History in the Object drop-down list. You deny permissions to move fields for that part of the object (the status history). The permission changes apply only to the status history part of the object, and not to the other parts of the object.

   Important! Global configuration changes affect all users, regardless of their role. Local configuration changes only affect users in the roles assigned to the selected configuration.

4. Next to the field, click the Remove Field icon.
5. Click Save Configuration.

   When you assign a configuration to a role, users in the role do not see the field. If an event is defined for the hidden field, users still receive notifications. However, any mapped attribute that is not accessible in the workflow process associated with the event is not sent as part of the notification.
