Good Afternoon,

Here's what we are trying to accomplish. In our current new user form we have fields for a technician to select company and job title.

An example would be that Company A has the following Job Titles: Sales User, Service User

Whereas Company B has the following: Admin User, Technical User

I have currently configured both the Company and Job Title Property's in my property pattern to have only the specified values I provide, however I'd like to know if when a user selects company A, can they then only have access to that companies job titles. If so how would one implement that?

I appreciate any response as thus far support has been excellent!

Regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your good words, we really appreciate it.

Currently, this is not possible, but we have such a request in our product backlog. As a workaround until such functionality is available, you can create Business Rules that would not allow creating or updating a user if a user's Job Title doesn't match the Company.

To create such Business Rules:

  1. Create a new Business Rule.

  2. On the 2nd step of the Create Business Rule wizard, select:

    • User and Before Creating a User - for a Business Rule that will cancel creation of new users with mismatching departments,
    • User and Before Updating a User - for a Business Rule that will cancel modification of a user if a mismatching department and/or company was assigned.
  3. On the 3rd step, add the Cancel this operation action. If necessary, you can also specify a reason for canceling.

  4. Now, you need to add conditions when the action must be canceled. Right-click the action that you've just added and click Add Condition.

  5. Select the If <property> <relation> <value> condition type.

  6. Specify Job Title equals Sales User.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Right-click the action that you've added and click Add Condition again.

  9. Select the If <property> <relation> <value> condition type.

  10. Specify Company does not equal Company A.

  11. Click OK.

  12. Click the Add action to a new set link.

  13. Repeat steps 3-12 for as many Job Titles as you have. You'll get something like this:

  14. Finish creation of the Business Rule.
