Column Access Extensions

We've reorganized column access settings a bit.

First, column edit page now features Access section, where you can specify access rights for the column you edit right in place, without having to go to Column Access page.

You may also notice "Override access rights..." checkbox.  When calculating access rights for formulas, lookups and summaries for particular user, TeamDesk checks also access rights for all referenced columns and select most-restrictive access right. For formulas, these are all column used in the formula code, for lookups and summaries these are value columns and columns participating in the relationship.

In some cases you may want to allow user viewing the result of calculation but not contributing referenced columns.

Checking "Override access rights..." box suppresses calculation of access rights for referenced columns and uses access rights as specified for selected column.

Summary View Improvement

We've added an ability to specify an alias to calculated columns in the summary views. Now you can type the name for calculated value in a text box to the right of "display as" string. Leaving the box empty uses TeamDesk default naming convention: column name and the function calculated.

Happy Holidays!

File Handling Changes

We've changed the way TeamDesk handles file attachments.

When you attempt to save the record, it goes to the server for validation and processing. In case, validation error occurs, the server returns back the page with your original data and validation errors. However files are lost. Why?
