How to make records not editable?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member
Hey guys,
I have created a new field on the Customer table that is either true or false (depending on whether the records were read in via an interface or not).
If the records were read in via the interface, I would like the data records to be read-only, so that they cannot longer be changed by users.
Do you have any ideas how I can make this possible? Setting fields to not editable is not a problem, but how do I do this for a complete table?
Thank you ;)

    You can make the entire record non-editable using the Editable property in the required page object. You can also make the Editable property using conditional statements also...

    You could set dynamic editability in pages based on the result of whatever calculation.

    I would also ensure that this is enforced in the table by subscribing onmodify, ondelete and onrename record with an error. Be sure you do not lockdown yourself and add e.g. an entry in user setup table with something like canmodifydeleterename records in that table (just in case you need to do these operations in your record with a super user).
