Assigning form views to workflow roles
You can allow users to create new entries in a specific workflow role on the Entries page (without being able to edit the form itself or view all the entries).
To invite Limited Access users to specific form views:
-
Invite the user to your organization and set their permission level to Limited Access.
-
Once the user has accepted their invitation, assign them to a workflow role (ex: Accountant). Make sure to save both the Edit Role dialog and your form.
-
On the Entries page, create a new form view. In the view settings, set the Role to the specified workflow role. Now, the user can create new entries in this role on the Entries page.
Move a field to the first column on the Entries grid to display that field value at the top of each entry. Some columns (including Signature fields, File Upload fields, Content fields, Repeating Sections/Tables, and Entry Status/Date Submitted) will be skipped.
