This one is a little tricky to explain and I cannot find enough or accurate guidance within Tutorials.
Let's say, I have created a directory (Custom Post, Fields, Taxonomy and Archive Page) for folks for post their CV's / Resume.
In the first instance, I would like folks to enter all their details on the Post Form, submit and I get a Draft version. Once approved, they get notified via email that it's published. This is fine and I have managed to get this done via the tutorials.
But....:
1) I want folks to enter their email details, not show this on the listing and also be able to export their details so that I capture for my newsletter etc. I should also be able to email them either via wordpress or my emailer (www.sendfox.com), wherein I can add email lists.
2) I am also not able to get users to edit just their entry. I cannot see the Guest (session) column in my views when looking at Access Control. Users should only have access to their details and also be able to edit them when needed due to changes etc. Right now it appears anyone can...and also the format is terrible for the post form (this is the Post Form example I created and you can see repeat in bullet points hidden link )
3) I also want to set this up so that in the future, I would potential Recruiters to be able to access this database, however, based on an annual membership or chargeable basis.
4) I also want to expand this in the future where Recruiters can post jobs...
In effect, I know all this is possible and it will be a learning curve...happy to take it one step at a time but need the tutorials.
Put simply:
People seeking jobs....post CV...can edit...can change etc...not all fields should be visible on front end (like email) and I should be able to export.
Recruiters....post Jobs or Look for people....
Thank you for your continued super support.

Hello, let me give you some information here about #1, and have split off a couple of separate tickets to discuss the other issues independently.
1) I want folks to enter their email details, not show this on the listing and also be able to export their details so that I capture for my newsletter etc. I should also be able to email them either via wordpress or my emailer (www.sendfox.com), wherein I can add email lists.
If you create an email custom field and add it to a front-end Form, your Users can enter an email address to save with the custom post. If you do not want to display that email on the front-end, do not add that field to the Content Template assigned to this post type. The email field will not be automatically displayed on the front-end unless you add it to the Content Template or post content of each post.
Toolset does not provide built-in content export functionality like you are describing here. You would need a separate export tool to export post content. Types can export custom field structures, like if you want to create another site with the same custom post types and custom fields. You could go to Toolset > Export and export your Types structures to import in the new site. However, this does not export the content of your posts and custom fields. To do that, you can use the WordPress > Tools export features, or you can use a 3rd-party CSV/XML export plugin.
Depending on the format required to import those email addresses, you might also be able to generate a formatted list of email address field values using Views instead of exporting data. Create a draft Page on your site and add a View of this post type, then you can include the email field in the list of results. Preview that draft Page and you'll see the list of email addresses, which you can copy and paste into a 3rd-party email newsletter application. That would be a simple workaround for exporting data from custom fields.
