Setup of secure online form: the submitted form goes to site database then via ChronoConnectivity the admin. assist. retrieves it.

Client would like to add a second page that only shows up when she retrieves submitted form from database. It is a "For Office Only" section.

Question: How to do have this added content be hidden in the front end?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

You mean a multi page form with the second page only for admin ? or just some form content which is only visible in admin ?

I suggest that you use an editing form for front and another for admin if this is what you need.

Hi Max,

After I submitted question I realized she didn't really need it to be part of the form as she was going to fill in the blanks by hand upon retrieving form. I left it up wondering, :"what if..."

I've convinced her to create a Word doc and staple that but am curious about a higher tech way. Thanks for your answer.

So now this is more theoretical....
1. How would I connect or set up the admin form so it would display when she retrieves the other?
2. What if there were a couple of fields on the front end she wanted hidden, preserved for admin use?

Hi Scott,

If it's a whole form you want to protect then you can use the Authenticator action. If it's a part of a form then I'd use a Custom Container (or containers) and use PHP to hide the content unless the user is logged in and is a member of the Admin Group. There are other variations you can play on the same theme depending on exactly how you needthis to work.

Hi Bob,

Thank you. More incentive to improve my PHP skills.
