Hello,
Is there any way to hide an action button in a view when a field of the selected entry is false and to see it when it’s true
thanx
Subject: action button
Look at the Properties box, Hide-When section, Hide if formula is true. You may have to do some odd things to get the information from the currently selected document, and you’ll take a hefty performance hit (especially when scrolling through the view), but it should be possible. I would suspect that the performance hit is going to make it not viable though.
Disclaimer: I’ve never done it, so I may be completely wrong.
What exactly is your situation - there may be a different approach to it.

I created a view with an action button which allows a client to send a request to the technical crew. When the task is done, “finished” appears in a column “status”.So I want another action button so the client can confirm his problem is now solved.
Maybe workflow would be ok???
I’m working with notes for 3 months, I started from scratch and learnt by myself so thanx for any help

it’s possible:
in the properties of the action button, you can use a hide-when formula
in the properties of the view, you must select a checkbox “recalculate action for every document change” or something lik that
You may want to download the redbook A developers handbook . There’s an example in this excellent (and free) book.

Put the action button inside the document. The client will need to open the document to get the information anyway, so have the button only appear once the document has been marked “Finished”

There are more ways to solve your Problem:
-
put the “finished” documents in a different view (with selection forumlas)
-
the action of the button checks the status of the current or selected documents and does nothing if the status is not “finished”
