"Groups" in Nintex Forms

If you're using the New Responsive Designer, you can create a rule to show or hide a control (like a Group) based upon whether the form user is part of a SharePoint group. You would need to use the isMemberOfGroup function in the rule.  Here's more information on the isMemberOfGroup function: https://help.nintex.com/en-US/office365/Designer/Functions/isMemberofGroup.htm

The image below is an example of a rule that hides a Group control if the current form user is not part of the "Your Group Name" SharePoint group.

Good morning.  May it be a good day!

Well .. I set up the Panels, similar to the exhibit pertaining to New Responsive, save I'm in Old Responsive.  Do I need to hide them, then set up a rule to show them?  How would that be done?

Thank you!

No, this will not work for the Responsive and Classic designers. Those designers have a different rules engine than the New Responsive Designer.

To accomplish this scenario in the Responsive designer, you will have to create a rule on a Panel control and use a hidden function (fn-IsMemberOfGroup) to hide the Panel is a user is not part of a SharePoint user group. This hidden function is not part of the visible Runtime Functions in the rule builder.

First add the Panel control and move the desired fields inside it. Then add a rule to the Panel control. Configure that rule with the following settings:

• Rule name = Hide Panel (or whatever you'd like)


• When = not(fn-IsMemberOfGroup("Your Group Name"))


• Then = Hide

This function and rule will hide the Panel group if the form user is not part of the SharePoint group. If they are part of the SharePoint group, then the Panel control is visible.

Hi Garrett,

I've set the rules up per your instruction.  They work correctly.  When I press "Option 1" .. "Panel 1" hides itself.

So, what I'm truly looking for is what you showed me in your Link; that is, when you press Option 1, Panel 1 appears.  I would like for our members to not see Panel 1, Panel 2 or Panel 3 until Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3 are chosen, like in your excellent Link example.

So, I would like Panel 1, Panel 2 & Panel 3 to start hidden.  Then when (for instance) Option 1 is chosen, Panel 1 then appears.

Thoughts?

Thank you!

Hi @Underdog 

Hey, its supposed to work the other way. When you click Option 1 (Panel 2 and Panel 3 should be hidden). 

Enclosed is the form. Have a look at it. Pls note that the panels are empty, you can fill them with controls later. (just import it, ya)

Cheers

Hi @bamaeric 

Thanks for sharing. I am certain that @Underdog will make great use of your SharePoint Group tips.

Hey @Underdog

He has been using Nintex for a really, really long. (PS I'm just a newbie with almost 1 year on Nintex O365). I didn't even know about Classic and Responsive until I tried to answers some of the community questions. 

@bamaeric Keep up the good work!
