Changing Editing Properties
You can control how an edit window functions when users edit information in it. These functions are referred to as edit properties. Edit properties include these properties:
|
•
|
Whether the column information is able to be edited. If you choose not to allow a column to be edited, the information in that column appears as display-only. |
|
•
|
Whether the column requires information before users can save the record. When you make a column required and users attempt to save a record without entering information in that column, Horizon prompts the users to fill in that column. |
|
•
|
Whether information in a column is copied into a new record from an existing record. |
|
•
|
Whether information in a column can be changed simultaneously for a group of selected records. |
