  Hello Katerina,

  Sure, please, use groups functionality. You can create a unique form for each group of users with Forms Designer. So, in your case, create a separate group for Owners and design a form with all fields for this group. Next, switch back to All users and design a form with 2 tabs only. Get more info:

  Hi Dimitry,

   

  Thanks, that was very helpful. I have an other question can you do cascading lookup using SP Forms?

   

   

  Thanks,

  [#2]: You can configure cascading lookups with help of both Forms Designer and Cross-site Lookup. Please, find the instruction in the following post:

  Hi Dimitry,

   

  Something I didn't clear out on my previous messages is that I am using SharePoint 2010. Can I use cross-site lookups and cascade lookups on SharePoint 2010?

   

  Thanks,

  KAterina

  [#5]: Hello,

  Unfortunately, Cross-site Lookup doesn't support SharePoint 2010. I would recommend to use SPServices instead:

  [#1]: Hi Dmitry, we are on Forms Designer 2.8.9 and have a group of forms that don't seem to work. The user defined rule is

   

  ContainsCurrentUser([Assigned To]) || ContainsCurrentUser([Delegated To]);

   

  Any idea what might be wrong? Also, the two fields are client people picker fields in SP 2013. Thanks in advance.

  [#7]: I've just verified your formula and it seems that it's working properly. Please, ensure that the fields are populated properly, check the type of form, the content type and the fields names. Do you have other groups of forms?

  Hi,

  Right now, I want to have 2 type of group e.g. All User and Team Leader.

  The Team Leader group able to see additional button "Approve" and "Reject". For All User, they wont see the button.

  Hence, I created the User Defined Rule named "Team Leader" and set the formula:

  ContainsCurrentUser([Team_x0020_Lead])

  Note: Team_x0020_Lead is the internal name for Team Leader column.

  However, it does not work.

  Did I miss something? Appreciate your advise.

  Thanks..

  [#9]: Please, note that the rules work during the form's initial loading, not while editing field values. Have you tested the case in Edit or Display forms?
