Configuring edit mode

You enable edit mode on an application-by-application basis. Edit mode is not enabled for any applications when the product is installed.

About this task

You enable edit mode for an application by using the Edit Mode Enabled? check box in Application Designer.

If you decide at a later point that edit mode is not needed for an application, you can clear the Edit Mode Enabled? check box. Disable edit mode outside of normal business hours. Users who are currently editing records in the application when you disable edit mode continue to have edit mode access until they log out and log back in.

Procedure

  1. In Application Designer, open an application that you want to configure for edit mode.
  2. Select the Edit Mode Enabled? check box.
  3. Save the application.
  4. Log out and log back in.

Results

Users who are members of security groups that have save permissions can open records in the application in edit mode after they log out and log back in.
