User Access Options
This is a powerful option that allows for dynamic forms creation, only showing the logged in user elements of pages that they should or need to be able to access. For example you could have a section for management information, which is only seen by users with the appropriate User Access Options tag.
The way to implement this feature is as follows.
1. Create a 'User Access Options' code. e.g. A1 and give it a name, e.g. 'A class access'. You will then see the condition code e.g. 'FALSE'.
2. Within the 'Users' tab find the user you wish to have this attribute assigned and go to their 'Access Options' tab, and tick the User Access Options tick box to apply the User Access Options to that user.
3. Now when writing your code you can query the value of the flags whilst creating the page to dynamically show or hide sections of a form for example.
