Can the Editable Grid View be set as the option and Read Only View remain the default when opening a List?

Hello,

We have recently enable the Editable Grid Views for our organization. We would like to set this feature as the option rather than the default view when opening a List. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Ed Cubbage

    Hi Ed,

    There are a couple of ways that you can do that.

    The first of course is based on security roles, meaning if users don't have access to modify the data in the editable grid, they will not be able to change it, therefore read-only.

    The second choice is using JavaScript and adding a function to the OnRecordSelect method of the editable grid as follows (make sure you check the pass context as first parameter):

    function gridOnRecordSelect(context) {

       var entityObject = context.getFormContext().data.entity;

       entityObject.attributes.forEach(function (attribute, i) {

             var ctrl = attribute.controls.get(0);

             ctrl.setDisabled(true);

       });

    }

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you Aric.

    I believe this answers my question. I will have to get the code off to our Developers in Belgium to validate (I do not know code). As for the security roles, I know how to do that, but would prefer the Read Only View to be the default; this way our users have cognitively open the In-Line Editing View.

    I appreciate the suggestions.
