Flex Header Data and Control Groups

Hi all,

Can someone confirm for me whether it should or should not be possible to show in a flex header some interpretation of data that is not available to the current control group? Perhaps by referencing a secure view, or other method?

For example I'd like to show in a flex header for our ticket sellers whether a donor has made a large contribution to the current annual fund, but contribution data is control grouped away from our ticketing personnel.  

Thanks everyone!

  • Hi Jeffrey,

    As Brian notes, this is entirely possible.  Whilst normally you'd create the Flex Header Element to reference a secure view (VS_<etc>) directly referencing the data table would bypass control grouping.  Be careful though - your users might see more than you bargained for - as with everything it's test, test and then test again!
