Record Visibility Settings by Role

Adjusting Record Visibility for your Users

Shape Software provides a flexible data sharing design that allows you to expose different data sets to different sets of users, so users can do their job without seeing data they don’t need to see. Define how user roles within your system are able to view records based on their role and the record type they are viewing.

Note: By default, admins can see all records. Directors and Managers can see Assigned Records to themselves and their team members (requires set up in Manage Teams). Users, Portal Users, Member Users, and Partner Users can only see their assigned records. Customize your record visibility by role in this settings page.

1.

Go to Settings > Record Visibility by Role

Start by clicking “Settings” in the top navigation bar and you will find “Record Visibility by Role” under the “Users & Permissions” dropdown.

2.

Editing the record visibility for your users

Simply click the “Choose” option under the Action column to find the edit button where you can select the record visibility for each user role.

3.

Assigned Records, All Records, and Team Records

Options for record visibility are different for each user role:

Record Visibility, Master Search, and Share Inbox Options

You will notice that there are several dropdowns that can have visibility adjusted based on different functions and based on the different record types as well. Those options are defined below:

1.

Record Visibility by Role and Record Type

The first few dropdowns determine what records are visible to each user role in the CRM. Some roles may need access to all records while others may only need to see records they are assigned. This may differ based on the record type they are viewing. For example, the User role may need to see all Lead Records but only their assigned Account records. This allows visibility in Shape to mold to your company's needs!

2.

Master Search

This dropdown determines what records are visible to each user role when using the search bar in the top navigation bar. Someone who can only see assigned records on their list view, but can search all records, will find the records grayed out and be able to add notes but not call, text or email that file.

3.

Share Inbox

The Share Inbox is the communication inbox for the system. Use this dropdown to determine what call, text, and emails are visible in the inbox. For example, and Admin may need to see every record in the system, but only want to see communications from the records they are assigned in their inbox.
