Pages in VertiGIS FM may not display the sections and entities outlined in this manual based on the section authorization. Conversely, an object's details page may include a section you do not want your users to see. You can control which sections or entities on a VertiGIS FM page users can access by editing a page's section authorization.
When you edit the section authorization for a details page, you can set
•which sections users can see on the details page.
•whether the section is expanded or collapsed by default.
When you edit the section authorization for a search page, you can set
•which entities (assets or other data objects) users can click in the Objects section.
•which entity is selected by default when users navigate to the search page.
Only users assigned a user role with the Form Layout permission in the Platform Permissions role administration section can complete this action. Refer to Roles and Permissions for more information.
