Podio

Creating an Un-Editable App

When creating a new App, “Podio’s” advanced settings have the option to not let members of the workspace edit items in the app. However, admin users can, and all users can always edit items that they created.

Solution Explained

When creating an archive app, members should not be able to edit or add data to any field. We want to set permissions for the manager to be the only one able to make changes. With GlobiFlow we can set a flow to revert an updated field back to the previous revision. We can also set a filter for only a specified user or users to make changes.

Flow Details

  1. Set up a New Flow to trigger upon update

  2. Add a Filter for a creator/editor (if needed)
