New field-level permissions are live in your dataform views!

We're excited to announce an enhancement to Dataforms in Apps! As part of our ongoing commitment to providing enterprise-grade security and control, we've expanded our data access controls. The same powerful field-level permissions you use in Process and Board forms are now available in Dataform views!

This means you can now control access to individual fields within your views, making managing and safeguarding sensitive information across your applications easier than ever.

Once field-level permissions are configured, you can share the view with specific roles, ensuring that only the permitted fields are visible or editable by those roles.

With this enhancement, your teams can confidently collaborate, knowing that data visibility stays tightly controlled and aligned with your organization’s policies.

What’s new?

App developers can set one of three access levels for each field within a dataform view:

• Editable: Users can view and modify the field's content.

• Read-only: Users can see the field's information but cannot make any changes.

• Hidden: The field will be completely concealed from the user's view.

Note
You can configure permission levels for all the fields in a section using the permission icons at the top right corner of the section.

What it means for you

Building on our existing role-based permissions, this new layer of control allows you to define access for each specific field. This ensures:

• Tighter data privacy: Keep sensitive information completely hidden from users who don't need to see it.

• Streamlined user experience: Declutter views by showing users only the fields relevant to their tasks, improving focus and efficiency.

• Enhanced security: Prevent accidental or unauthorized edits by setting crucial data to Read-only.
