I have an extension where in the "Resource" card page, I want to hide Invoicing section (fastTab) from a specific user and show it to other user. Is there a way to accomplish this? Please help.

Thanks in advance!

You can assign a variable to the Visible property on the field and then set the variable on the OnOpen trigger.

Hi Teddy,

Thanks for responding. Can you also help me with the code in OnOpenPage trigger to identify which user is logged in the tenant currently?

Hi,

Follow the below steps:

1) Create a new boolean field in the user setup.

2) Create a new boolean variable such as showtab and new record variable for the user setup.

3) Write the below code on open page trigger.

UserSetup.GET;

IF UserSetup.GET(USERID) AND UserSetup.(New Boolean Field) THEN

Showtab := TRUE

ELSE

Showtab := False;

4) Assign the Showtab boolean variable to page group visible property.

Voila!

Hey,

You can either use USERID function to or find the User by using USERSECURITYID and filtering Users Table by USERSECURITYID.

Let me know if you need help.

User USERID to get the current user. If you want to build the setup for each user, I recommend using the table called User Setup.

Hi

I used this code for getting user id and I also entered the user in user setup table. But when I open the resource card, it throws the following error:

The User Setup does not exist. Identification fields and values: User ID=''

How should I handle this? Please help.

Regards

Hi Khudeja,

You can try this,

1. Create a field in User Setup let's say a boolean FastTabVisible.

2. Create a boolean variable pageFastTabVisible which will be set on the Visible property for the FastTab

3. When the page opens set the boolean true or false depending upon a the user id and user setup

Code will be on OnOpenPage trigger

User.Get(USERSECURITYID);

UserSetup.Get(User);

If UserSetup.FastTabVisible = True then

pageFastTabVisible :=True

Else

pageFastTabVisible := False;

I hope this resolves your issue.

Let me know if you need help.

Hi Teddy,

Just for you information, I had faced this issue in Business Central Cloud where USERID returned MSOLSYNC as the user name which was actually not present in Users.

So I found that USERSECURITYID is the best field to use with Business Central and is the primary key of Users Table.

Hi Olister,

I tried the code you suggested but it is throwing the following message on opening the resource card:

The length of the string is 161, but it must be less than or equal to 50 characters. Value: {<id>}

How to work this out?

Regards

Khudeja
