Using omit record script step

[Agentshevy]

I am not really good with scripting.  I want a situation where by contacts with status as inactive are always omitted on entering the contacts layout.   My challenge is to script this using the omit record script step.    

 

Secondly, another approach I want to implement is to have a check box field called HIDE  which when checked, immediately removes (or hides but not deleted)  that contact from the list, assuming I am on the contacts list layout...   I don't really know if I have explained my question well...  Thanks

Do you want to omit them from current found set (i.e. do Constrain Found Set), or just show all active records in the entire table (i.e. Perform Find)?

A button defined to Omit Record will do that. I don't think you want to modify a field for this purpose - esp. as that would modify it for all users.

Well, then use something like:

Enter Find Mode [  ] 
Set Field [ Contacts::Status; "Inactive" ] 
Omit Record 
Constrain Found Set [  ]
