How the BC Read Only Field User Property Works

The BC Read Only Field user property specifies a Boolean field that, if TRUE, modifies all fields that reside in the current record to read-only. It prevents the user from updating or deleting the record but it does not prevent the user from adding a new record to the business component.

The BC Read Only Field user property includes the following properties:

• Name. Contains the following value:

  BC Read Only Field
  

• Value. Contains the name of a field that resides in the parent business component of this business component user property. This field must be contain a TRUE or FALSE value.

Example of Using the BC Read Only Field User Property

Assume Siebel CRM must prevent the user from updating an inactive account. The Inactive Account field in an account record is a TRUE or FALSE field that, if TRUE, indicates that the account is inactive. To configure dynamic read-only behavior for the Account business component, you can add a business component user property to the Account business component. This example business component user property contains the following properties:

• Name. BC Read Only Field.

• Value. Inactive Account.
