👤User

The User field allows you to select a system user from the list of registered users. This is commonly used for assigning users, capturing responsible parties, or recording who performed a certain action.

🔸 What is a User Entity ?

In iviva DX, a User is someone who can log in with valid credentials. Users represent real people such as staff, managers, or contractors—who interact with the system.

  • Users belong to User Groups (e.g., Admins, Supervisors, Technicians)

  • User Groups have User Roles

    • Roles define what users can access and do in the system

  • Roles determine Permissions

    • Permissions control which parts of the app a user can view or modify after logging in

🪄 Default Value: Fill with Current User

This field type offers an additional smart default:

  • Option: Fill with Current User

  • Purpose: Automatically selects the currently logged-in user

  • Use Case: Useful for audit fields like "Reported By", "Requested By", or "Created By"

  • Overrides: Can be combined with conditional logic if needed
