Hi Ben,
We have a form called 'Branded Stationary' where clients can login and update the text content of their office stationary, ready for monthly ordering. Clients can only edit the pre-defined entries, they cannot add new ones (so new submissions are disabled, as is the delete feature).
For example:
A client logs in and has 'Pens' and 'Business Cards' as separate submissions in the 'Branded Stationary' form. When they open 'Pens' to edit their monthly business tag line, they see fields such as 'Pen Color' and 'Business Tag Line' etc.
Likewise, when they edit the 'Business Cards' option, they get the same fields but they still see 'Pen Color' - So, in another view, we've changed that to read 'Card Color'. However, the Views are only selectable via the top drop-down menu, not the Edit icon next to each Submission. We have hidden the View drop-down menu to clients.
So, my question is (without creating a form for each Stationary item we offer branding) is it possible to assign a View to particular Submissions? My initial idea would be to create an additional field in the Form where the 'View ID' is entered by the Admin user (hidden to the end client). Then re-linking the Edit icon to be dynamic, dependant on the 'View ID' specified for that Submission?
In your opinion, what would be the best way to achieve this?
Hope this makes sense.
