The script looks for Current Salary and Salary Range documents whose Name fields matches that on the Employee form. If those documents are found, the script pulls the salary information from them and places it in the Computed For Display fields. If it can't find corresponding documents, or if the person reading the Employee document doesn't have the right encryption key, the field will remain blank. In our example, the CurrentSalary field will remain invisible to John and the SalaryRange fields will remain invisible to Lisa. For users who have neither key, all three fields will be blank.

Breaking your forms apart like this is a little extra work, but as you can see it gives you a whole new level of flexibility when it comes to encrypting multiple fields in a document. Happy encrypting.
