Datalynx View settings
The settings described on this page apply for every view. Each view type has additional settings, that are described in the documentation of the specific view.
View general settings
Name
The name of the view. The name will appear as title in the browser title bar and on the "view index".
Description
Optional. This is only used to display additional information in the "view index"
Visible to
Define which role can access the view. Supported roles are:
Role | Permission |
---|---|
Manager | viewprivilegemanager |
Teacher | viewprivilegeteacher |
Student | viewprivilegestudent |
Guest | viewprivilegeguest |
How it works: Per default the supported roles have the capability (=permission) assigned, that reflects the role name. Students have the default permission "viewprivilegestudent". This permission can also applied to another role. You can add the permission "viewprivilegestudent" to a non-editing teacher. If you then enable the checkbox "student" in the setting "Visible to", the view can also be accessed by all users with the role a non-editing teacher. You can also delete the permission from a role. If you delete the permission "viewprivilegestudent" from the role student, all users with this role won't be able to access the view even with the "student" checkbox enabled in the "Visible to" setting.
