Blind Form Fields by Role
Shareable Link: Blind Form Fields by Role
User roles can be blinded to specific fields within forms so the data is not visible when entered by another role or when data is being computed or populated which needs to be hidden.
Field blinding is supported on all common field types, but not within normalized tables
When a field is blinded, there are a few areas that enforce that blinding, when the blinded role is performing an action:
On forms during data entry or form viewing
Queries Report - Hides any queries on fields that are blinded to the user role viewing the report. Form view permissions are enforced here as well.
Report Builder/Ad-hoc reports - Hides the blinded column
Data Exports - Displays “*****” for data that exists but is blinded
How to blind Fields
On the app, field blinding is configured directly in the form builder within the field properties.
On the web, this is done In the Study Configuration > Role Security tab. With the desired role currently selected in the dropdown, click on the Blind Form Fields by Role button
Click on the form where fields
Selecting a form will populate fields on the form that can be checked to blind.
Click on Save Field Blinding button. This action will stamp any changes to the blinded field audit report.
