If several employees add their data to a SharePoint List (Change of Address) how do I hide the employees' address from the other employees and is this possible? I have been working in the SharePoint Designer trying to create a workflow or even add this to a current workflow that allows employees to fill out a form that is added to a SharePoint List.

The other problem is this workflow does not display the employees' current data in the form to allow changes/edits to an address. This can work if I use a customizable InfoPath form, but I would like to keep the employees from having to select Add New Item if at all possible. The only other possible conclusion I can come up with for this is to create a link that will allow employees to bring up the workflow form. I don't want them searching for the form either; I'd rather keep it handy in the List.

    By 'hide' do you mean that the information should simply not be visible or do you mean that other employees CAN NOT have access to it? (i.e. presentation only or security)

  • @Dave Wise - Other employees CAN NOT have access to other employee data, just their own.

You should set-up the Item Level Permission for the list or library so only users who created the item can view/edit etc.

check out this article that explains how to achieve this in SP2010

  • Thank you, I have tried this and now receive an error that says "Condition is not valid for the associated list." I have checked in a few different places to see a resolution for this error message. What is interesting is when I "Check for Errors" the message indicates --> "The workflow contains no errors." I have checked : link to trouble shoot this, but I dont think they have what Im looking for.

A couple things offhand, Set the default view of the list to be filtered by Created By equals [ME]. You can also set the item level permissions in the list to Read Only their own and Edit only their own.

  • The read and edit only their own is set on the list in question. Click on your list, Settings, List Settings, Advanced Settings.
