Is it possible to hide columns in the application. I have hidden som columns in sharepoint that my workflows are using.
I dont want these to show on the user end as they are only for administration tasks. I want to have a clean view for the users.
Can this be done?
Hi ronnholm,
Thank you for posting at IG forums!
This needs to be configured in the SharePoint view. If you have administrative rights you can edit the views for the list to show only the columns you want to show. Please take a look at the attached screenshots.
I hope this is what you needed to do.
Best regards,
Thank you for the reply.
I was abit unclear where I wanted this done. In the list view its working as we want it. The problem occurs when we are displaying items and using edit.
We got an extension hiding columns from users in sharepoint but as explained we need some columns in the list for the workflows to run. But I dont want them to show up for the users when they edit or display an item.
Atm we are looking at the possibility of using 2 lists when with only the information that will be revealed for the user and when he displays or edit an item he gets the relevant information. After editing the workflow then updates the item in the administration list. The problem we have then is that the attachments(photos) cant be copied from one list to another with our workflow.
So in short tems, I want the display and edit function to only show the information/columns from a list that a user should see or edit.
OH! Thank you for adding this extra info.
Is this the extension you have (or something similar)? If yes then the solution is highly likely to be resetting the list's cache in SharePlus (tap and hold the list and selec "Delete Cache").
An alternative would be using SharePoint Manager (easier) or SharePoint Designer to change the ShowInNewForm and the ShowInEditForm values to "False".
Do you know how to do this? If not I can research this a bit more and help you out.
I am using this to get the job done in sharepoint. Dont know if its compatible with shareplus, will check the other one out to see if its able to do the same thing, but working in shareplus aswell.
I have tried to delete cache, even removed the site and then added it again, with out any success.
Know where I changed the values to "False", will get back to you after I tried.
I'm not 100% sure if SharePoint would actually do the changes in the back end or if this is just a browser-level extension that filters the columns according to its settings.
What's for sure is modifying this using SharePoint Manager or Designer.
