How to set Default View/Edit mode globally

Hi,

In this blog we will learn how to set Default View/Edit mode property globally on all the forms.

Navigate to Gear icon on the top right corner as shown below.

Now on the user option form >> Navigate to gear icon on the top right corner >> Select User options >> Under Preferences tab >> StartUp tab page >>Set the "Default View/Edit mode" - By default it will be set to Auto - So it will depend upon the developer to set the view edit mode property on the form design and on the menu item properties. You have 3 options to set Auto, View, Edit.

Auto mode - This will work in the standard way - While opening it will be showing Edit button on the top - You need to edit the form to do the changes.

Edit mode - This will work similar to the Auto mode.

View mode - This will make all the form to open in edit mode which will show the Save button on the top left corner.

Below is the earning statement form >> Payroll >> All Earning statement >> This is the form before changing the view/edit mode property.

Now change the View/Edit mode property under user option to Edit mode and then check.

Now let us see the changes on All earning statement form.

While opening the form its open with Edit mode as you see in the below screenshot.

If you set the View/Edit mode to Edit - No changes will be there - It will work as similar to Auto function.

Thanks.
