Lock or Unlock a Field

In Screen Designer, you can lock a field in a hub or Chart of Accounts to allow users to see the field, but not make an entry in it.

For more information, see Locking Fields and Grids.

To lock a field for a security role:

  1. In the Navigation pane in the browser application, open Screen Designer in one of the following ways:
    • Go to the Hubs section and select the hub that you want to customize, or select Settings > General Ledger > Chart of Accounts to customize the Chart of Accounts. On the Actions bar of the form that displays, select Other Actions > Design.
    • Select Settings > General > Screen Designer. In the Application field at the top of the Screen Designer form, select the application that you want to customize.
  2. On the Screen Designer form, click the field that you want to lock.
    To lock more than one field at a time, select multiple fields on the Screen Designer form using the CTRL key.
  3. In the Field Properties section of the properties pane, click in the Field Security field.
  4. On the Field Security Rights dialog box, do one of the following:
    • If you are locking the field (or multiple fields) for one role only, select Locked in the Locked/Unlocked field in the role's row.
    • If you are locking the field (or multiple fields) for more than one role, select the check box beside each role's row, or select the check box beside the Role column heading to select all roles. Then click the Lock action above the roles grid. Locked is automatically selected in the Locked/Unlocked field.
    When you select multiple fields to lock at a time, it is possible that the security rights currently entered for all the selected fields for a role are not the same. In that case, you will see Mixed displayed in the Locked/Unlocked column for a role. If you change the Mixed value to another value for a role, that new value now displays in the column and is applied to all the fields that you selected on the Screen Designer form.
  5. Click Save.
  6. To unlock a locked field, repeat these steps and in step 4, select Unlocked in the Locked/Unlocked field.
