How do I make my Registers and Forms Template Confidential?

Individual Register and Form entries in the system are able to be marked as confidential, which means that only selected users will be able to view them. Marking a Register and Form entry as confidential means that the entry:

  • will only be visible to selected users, the Person Responsible and any approvers.
  • will not appear on any List Screens.
  • will not appear in any report (regardless of who generates it).
  • will not appear in the Linked Registers and Forms section.

Step-By-Step Guide

To use this feature you will first need to go to the Register and Form Template that you want (provided you have access to the template) and on the Details page make sure that Ability to make Register and Form Confidential is set to ‘Yes’.

Note: As well as these users, both the Person Responsible and any Stage Approvers will retain access to the Register and Form entry. These users need to keep their access in order to still perform their required tasks. It should be noted that Super Users and Administrators will also lose access to the Register and Form entry unless they are part of the group that has explicitly been given access.

Once the template has been set up correctly, to mark a Register and Form entry as confidential first go to the entry that you want, then on the Details page click on the Ellipsis and select ‘Make Confidential’:


A warning will appear asking you to confirm the action, select Confirm:


You will now see a bar under the Status of the Register and Form entry confirming that the entry has been marked Confidential:

To remove the confidential status from a Register and Form entry, click on the Ellipsis again and select ‘Remove Confidential’:
