Form access levels - what do the options mean?

[Keith-i]

Under the Access Levels tab on forms there are two columns with drop down options for Data Mode and Form Type. What do the options Browse Only and Edit Only actually change on the forms? Is this documented somewhere as I couldn't find any info?

Also, is there any way to remove the search box from appearing at the top of forms as I'd like to gain some real estate on some of my iforms.

Use nuHideHolders() :

Code: Select all

nuHideHolders(0);

In brief:

Browse Only: User has access to the Browse mode of a form
Edit Only: User has access to the Edit mode of a form


Browse Only:

The "Browse Only" access level allows a user to view a form as Browse Screen ( A selectable list of records from a database table), but not to make any changes to the data.

In Browse Only mode, the user can:

• View a table's records
• Search and filter the data
• Print data (if permission given)

However, the user cannot:

• Modify any data in the form
• Add or delete records

Edit Only:

The "Edit Only" access level allows a user to view a form as Edit Screen and make changes to the data in a form, but not to view other rows of a table.

In Edit Only mode, the user can:

• Add, modify, or delete data in the form
• Save changes to the form

However, the user cannot:

• View a table's records
• Search and filter the data
• Print data

It is important to assign access levels carefully to ensure that users have the appropriate level of access to perform their tasks effectively while maintaining data security and confidentiality.
