Locking down a Layout

[mfl]

Hope this is possible.

I have a layout with a bunch of fields and I need to be able to lock the fields so they can't be modified.

Can this be done with the script trigger OnLayoutEnter using a field from the table that if > than blank lock the fields,

or do I have to do this field by field.

 

Thanks

What is the purpose?

 

I think we need additional information in order to recommend a good way. There are a few different ways to do this (with and without a script). i.e. Accounts and Privileges, , Field validation,  disallow entry in browse mode,

We have a table "Fabric Library" which contains all the fabrics we use and their associated details like Content, Properties, Mill and Coding info.

This detail info is specific to each entry in the library and is not supposed to be changed if it is being used in a style.

Despite the fact that we have a portal that shows if the fabric is being used and which style it is being used in we are running into situations where data is being changed.

I can lock down the field if the user is not an authorized user but this means that I have to do it field by field but I would rather lock a layout.

You can set a layout as "View Only" in a privilege set.
