[Case Opened] WF 8 - BIP - Dynamic Panel Display?

Currently we have a BIP with four panels for the head of our fraternal lodge:


We would like only the first three panels display for our lodge members:


Technically: Can we control BIP panels programmatically at runtime?

From a Design Point of View: Does it make more sense to have two (2) BIP's, one for the Grand Poobah, and one for the members?

Interesting thought. I am pretty confident that you can control the content in the panel by security, but I don't think there is security on the panel itself to display.

I think I asked that question at one point in an early version of 8.

I appreciate you thoughts, as always, Matt.

Yep, I've told my colleagues we can, by design, control panel content, based upon a condition.

My first inclination is for variable content, and constant panels, but am trying to be neutral, and get sense of what they need and what is possible. :-)

I have opened up a case on this topic, and have updated the thread header accordingly.
