Column Security Options

When you use Column Security you can set View, Add, and Change options to secure a field. For the field to appear on a table, application, application version, or form, the View option must be set to Y. When the View option is set to N for a field, that field does not appear on the object. Add and Change options depend on the View option being set to Y for the field. The Add and Change options are independent of each other.

You can set the View and Add options to Y and the Change option to N. With security defined in this manner, the field appears on the object and is enabled when the user enters the object in add mode. If the user enters the object in update mode, the field appears but is disabled.

You can set the View and Change options to Y and the Add option to N. With security defined in this manner, the field appears on the object and is enabled when the user enters the object in update mode. If the user enters the object in add mode, the field appears but is disabled.

You can set all three options to Y. With security defined in this manner, the field appears on the object and is enabled in both add and update mode.
