Hi, Mike, is there a way to make a row simply disabled for selection without any conditions? I am working on a mock-up and don't have the table tied to any logic.

Are you referring to an editable grid on a SAIL form, or just a grid-style Record Type listing?

If it's an editable grid (i.e. a!gridLayout) on a SAIL form, you can disable individual rows as long as you have the information to go on for this. The scenario I'm thinking of would require the main database table you're looking at to have an additional field i.e. "isInUse", and when user A starts working on a particular row (via an action or related action), you could set the "isInUse" flag to TRUE for that record, and be sure to set it back to FALSE when that user is finished. Then when user B accesses the editable grid, the rows that have TRUE for "isInUse" can be set to have their selection boxes disabled individually.

Hi Smruti,

This makes sense but how can we kick off a process based on row selection?? Also,each time if user deselects a row then again we would have to kick off a process to update the extra column?

Hi Nitesh,
Disabling a particular row in the gird level is not feasible however if your use case is something like on selection of a particular row from the record view, you kick off a process, then you can try the solution with the help of an extra column to hold whether the row is being worked upon as posted by my other friend no the above post.

Or try another approach is to have optimistic locking on the CDT by adding @version jpa annotation if you simply dealing with Database updates.
Thanks

I don't think its possible to disable particular row in grid, but on selection of grid row, you can set some flag and update table, so when other person opens a same record, based on updated flag value in table, you can show him a proper message this row is being edited by other user.

Could you provide some screen shots to get better understanding of the problem. Since the combination editable grid and selection is no available now.
