Page navigation buttons with RLS

Hi

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to use page navigation buttons in conjunction with RLS?

 

Here's my scenario, I'm working on a report which covers performance against KPIs/Targets for our commercial teams which calculates their % commision earnings.  This covers multiple teams (Direct and Indirect Sales teams in different geographies, Pre-Sales, Professional Services and MArketing) and each team has multiple members.

There is a wide range of targtets to report on and many individuals have unique metrics.  As such i want to have a report page for each individual.

 

Now i know i can use RLS to prevent access to certain datapoints (so each individual can only see metrics which relate to them) but this then leaves a published App which has far too many pages to be easily useable.

 

Using Page navigation buttons i know it's possible to hide all pages from navigation except a home page, but still navigate to these hidden pages with page navigation set on buttons.

 

So, can i somehow use RLS on buttons, so my homepage only displays the correct page navigateion button (i.e. the button for the user viewing the report) and hide all other buttons?

 

Thanks

Hi @GrahamKnowles ,

 

There are alternative solutions, which is essentially to make different reports to users.

I'm not sure this gives me exactly what I need for this scenario - but can certainly see how i could use this in slightly different circumstances - will undoubtedly use this at some point 🙂

 

Kind Regards

I do not believe so, you would have to create a bookmark and button for each person.
