Making read-only fields to certain sections once checked on

Hi,

I have my client who wants to have a workflow where if person A fills up section A, he will check on the checkbox and only Section A would be read-only. Then he sends it to person B and fills up section B and similarly check on a different checkbox and section B is read-only as shown in the image.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks with regards,

James

Hi try67,

Once the checkbox is checked and if person A already saves it, then the checkbox in Section A cannot be unchecked.

I hope that clarifies the situation.

Thanks with regards,

James


You can use the following code as the MouseUp event of the field, then:

this.getField("FieldA").readonly = true;

this.getField("FieldB").readonly = true;

this.getField("FieldC").readonly = true;

etc. (use the actual field names you want to "lock", of course).

And if you want to lock the check-box field itself then add it too to that list.

It's possible, but if you want it to really be secure use a digital signature instead of a check-box, and set it to lock those fields.

Hi try 67,

My clients prefer using a checkbox to lock the sections instead as he wants it simple rather than having a digital signature workflow.

Do you know how to lock the various sections and what is the code for that?

Thanks and regards,

James

Should the fields become "un-locked" if the box is "un-ticked"?
