How to disable notes?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 555

Hi experts,

In my Business Central cloud app, I have made an extension where my new table has notes attached to it using a factbox like this on the page:

area(factboxes)

{
    systempart(Notes; Notes)
    {
        ApplicationArea = Notes;
        Visible = true;
    }
}
It works fine, but I don't want the user to change the notes that are attached to a specific table number.
I cannot make a table extension for the table "Record Link" and I cannot see which pages, I must extend. The notes must not be altered and must not be deleted. But it must be possible to press it and read the full text in view-only-mode.
I hope you can help me.

    Please check if you can do it by assigning the users specific permission sets

    Hi Rahul,

    Thank you for your reply.

    It might work, but before I tried it, I found out that I can solve the problem by making these event subscriptions:

       [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Record Link", 'OnBeforeModifyEvent', '', false, false)]

       local procedure OnBeforeModifyEvent(var Rec: Record "Record Link"; var xRec: Record "Record Link"; RunTrigger: Boolean)

       begin

           if Rec."Record ID".TableNo() = Database::"my table" then begin

               Message('Modify is not allowed...');

               Rec.Note := xRec.Note;  // undo the change

           end;

       end;

       [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Record Link", 'OnBeforeInsertEvent', '', false, false)]

       local procedure OnBeforeInsertEvent(var Rec: Record "Record Link"; RunTrigger: Boolean)

       begin

           if Rec."Record ID".TableNo() = Database::"my table" then begin

               Message('New note/link is not allowed...');

           end;

       end;

       [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Record Link", 'OnBeforeDeleteEvent', '', false, false)]

       local procedure OnBeforeDeleteEvent(var Rec: Record "Record Link"; RunTrigger: Boolean)

       begin

           if Rec."Record ID".TableNo() = Database::"my table" then begin

               Message('Delete is not allowed...');

               Error('Delete is not allowed...');     // This error message is never shown, but it prevents the record from being deleted

           end;

       end;

    Once again, thank you for your time.

    Best regards,

    Morten
