Applying Security Rights to Multiple Fields or Elements at a Time in Screen Designer

You can select multiple fields and other elements on the Screen Designer form and apply security rights to them all at one time.

After you select the multiple fields and elements (grids, workflow buttons, and so on), you click in the Field Security field in the Field Properties pane, or the Grid Properties pane if you selected a grid, to open the Field Security Rights dialog box. On the dialog box, you then select the security rights for one or more security roles, for all the screen elements that you selected.

It is possible that the security rights currently entered for all the selected fields and elements for a role are not the same. In that case, you see Mixed displayed in the Secured/Hidden/Displayed column or Locked/Unlocked column for a role in the grid on the Field Security Rights dialog box. If you change the Mixed value in either of these columns to another value for a role, that new value is displayed in the column and is applied to all the fields and elements that you selected on the Screen Designer form.
