How can I hide data in the cardview before filtering?

[Luna Adulara]

Hi!
I created a form, where users can submit data. Other users shall be able to modify this data - so I have a second page with a cardview of all entries and a Form Filter control.

I want two things:

First - when loading the page there shall be no entries visible - only the Filter control to submit an ID of the entry (an employee-ID I generate in the form where the data is recorded) - and only when there is an ID submitted it should show the entry of this data.

So I basically don't want to show all entries in the first place to those who submit changes (I might confuse the people who submit the changes *g*).  So is there a way to hide the  CardView and show only filtered entries?

Second - is there any way to hide the filter field right above the CardView? (the one which appears when you "enable instant search field over the form data" and you need to use the filter control). This also might confuse people and I want to reduce any chances for mistakes by the users.

You can add something like this into the "filter to apply on dataset" parameter in your CardView

Seems like ConfiForms is quite a popular app 😄

I've never tested it and I believe someone from Vertuna will jump in here, but if not, @Luna Adulara you could always reach out directly to vendors related to these app-specific questions. Specifically, regarding ConfiForms, the support form is displayed here.

I've found that most vendors are quite responsive and helpful when it comes to requirement questions or technical issues.

Cheers,
