Closing a job

[Yogesh Nath]

I have created a job tracking system. Once a new job comes in we enter "open" in the job status field.

Once the job is completed, I want our receptionist to be able to enter a receipt number (once payment is done) in the system and "tell" the system the job is closed - so no one can go back and change anything.

Can anybody tell how the receptionist can enter (or use drop down menu ) and enter the job is closed.

I just hope to know how the Methodology works.

Please help.

Create a field, say "Closed". Change Privilege Set so the edit privilege is "IsEmpty( closed )".

Sorry Vaughan,

But I did not quite get what you are saying. I figured from your reply that I need to do something to Accounts&Priviledges.

All I want is, you start off a job, the status field says its "open". When the job is done, the receptonist logs-in and enters the receipt number (after receiving the payment) and somehow..there is a button etc or something that lets her close the job - So no one can go back and edit the job.

I have seen lots of sample tracking system but in all of them, yo could simply go back and chnage the job details etc.
