Prevent Record on Listing Page from Opening in Form Page

Is there a way to lock a record so that it won’t open until a condition is met? Meaning, it will show up on the Listing page, but not expand into the Form page.

I don’t want product pages to be available to an external user (client) for viewing until we have finished inputing all the details, setting the sale price, and being approved. Once everything is ready, we “publish” the record and only then it becomes available for the client to open and check in detail.

Hello Pax,

Yes, you can set up conditional formatting specifically on the form page. Conditional formatting can be configured independently for the listing page and the form page, so if you only apply it at the form level, it will not affect how the fields are displayed on the listing page.

Feel free to let us know if there’s any further questions!

Thanks,

So exactly what conditional formatting rule can lock a record from not showing on the form page?

  1. Choose Fields to Hide
  • In the Conditional Formula rule, select Show or Hide.
  • Pick the fields to hide (you can select all if needed).
  1. Update “Publish” Condition Without Editing the Form
  • If all fields are hidden, you can’t enter values directly on the form.
  • Create an Update Value on This Sheet button to set the condition to “Publish.”
  • Or you can create a Multiple Version for your internal reference only. Update the “Publish” condition on your internal version when ready. The record would then be made visible on the form level on the external version.
  1. Restrict Button Access
