Setting different Column Layout for different users

On Community Forum i came across one requirement for opening Page with different column on Page for different users.

Here i have given an demo how can be done, but will require some tweaking to achieve the actual result.

I have copied the Customer List Page and removed extra fields.

Playing with columns1

I have added one Field above Repeater so that we can decide which format we want to see on screen. User can enter 1/2/or any other value.

I have created two more variables Set1 and Set2 to show/hide fields as per the value entered in SetSelect.

Assigned the Set1 & Set2 to few columns on the Page Fields to Property Visible.

Set1 to Responsibility Center, Location Code & Currency Code.

Set2 to Post Code, Country/Region Code, Phone No. & Fax No.

Added code on OnOpenPage Trigger to select Default page Format when Page is Opened. This code you will modify as per your requirement like check the User and assign the default Value.

Added Code to SetSelect-OnValidate Trigger to select the required format of Page. You need to modify the code as per your requirement.

Playing with columns2

In this demo if user enter value for SetSelect and you will get different view of same page.

Do some research and design one as per your requirement, this way we need not to create different Pages for different Users. Same Page can serve you different purpose if limited to only different views.

I will come with more information in my upcomming posts.

Till then keep browsing and learning.
