everyone who needs access to certain

data on it let's compare an IT request

tracker sheet without Dynamic view users

who are assigned tasks on this sheet

must be shared with the entire sheet to

check request status and other key data

causing inefficiencies and elevating the

risk of exposing confidential

information however when when using

Dynamic view users shared to the view

can only see requests for which they are

assigned this prevents exposure to

columns related to the broader process

that are outside of their scope of

responsibility additionally users can

click on any request to update key data

points The View owner and admins can set

certain fields to be editable by

users Dynamic view can be accessed by

permission level for each field so the

view user only has access to what they

need need and nothing else note that if

we select read only the field will not

be editable to the view

further customize the experience to

drive a process they can select the
