Mark an item as hidden or read-only in Oracle InForm

Tip:

• This value overrides the form and study style settings, and applies to every instance of the item. To configure this setting for a specific instance of the item, use control styles. For more information, see Set the appearance of a single study object (control styles).
• If you configure an item to be Hidden or ReadOnly, Oracle InForm site users cannot enter data for the item. However, a rule developer can write a rule to populate the item. For example, you can mark a BMI item as ReadOnly, and then a rule developer can write a calculation rule to automatically populate it using the values entered in the Height and Weight items.

1. At the bottom of the Project Explorer, click the Forms and Transactions () button, and expand the InForm folder and the Forms folder, if necessary.
2. In the grid, select the item by clicking the box to its left.
3. In the Display Override column, expand the drop-down for the item and select Hidden or ReadOnly.
4. Save your changes.
