Greetings all,
I am currently fighting with Domino Designer because of a problem that could seem trivial at first glance. But upon closer scrutiny, it may seem more complicated.
As a matter of fact, I have aligned two fields and a button (with an action associated). The problem is that I would like to hide this button when the document is in “read mode” and I would like to be able to see it when the document is on “edit mode”.
The fact is thatg if I choose to apply some rules such as :
- the button is hidden if !@IsDocBeingEdited
Then the fields become also hidden … which I don’t want. I am compelled to jump a line and insert the button there. But this is pretty horrible and not ergonomic at all.
Has anyone an idea of what might trigger such behavior ? Any solution ?
Kind regards,

Hiding is ALWAYS by paragraph:
Note that the word “paragraph” appears in all of the settings text. If you need things to be on the same line with different hide settings, use a table – each paragraph in each table cell has its own settings.

Hi Stan,
Though I noticed this was by paragraph, I thought there could exist a workaround to achieve this. I was expecting more of Notes 
OK then, I will stick to the lines, or I will divide and divide the table to get proper presentation …
Thanks again !
Kind regards,

Using a table (so different cells have different paragraphs) looks like a workaround to me.
You expect more from Notes? Right so, there is more. You could also use layers for a more flexible positioning of your button(s) and/or content. Each layer is hidden based on the hide-when-formula that applies to the paragraph holding the layer’s anchor.

Hi Harkpabst,
Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it and I will come to a conclusion regarding my expectations of Notes and its performances …
