We've introduced a new update to make your grid views safer and easier to manage. Now, you can quickly toggle your Grid View to a read-only state - ensuring data is only viewed and not accidentally edited.
Key highlights
- Disable Inline Edit Option: A new checkbox in the Grid View 3-dot menu lets you disable inline editing with a single click.
- Accidental Edit Prevention: Once enabled, users can view and explore records without the risk of making unintended changes.
- Consistent Experience: This setting only affects inline editing in the grid view, leaving permissions and other editing options intact.
- Persistent Setting: The chosen setting will remain active across sessions for a consistent user experience.
How it works
- Administrators can enable the new read-only mode by checking the Disable Inline Edit option in any grid view’s menu.
- When toggled on, inline editing is turned off: cells no longer support direct interaction for edits, though users can continue to sort, filter, group, and perform bulk actions.
- This feature acts solely as a presentation control at the view level, preserving underlying record and field permissions as well as functionality in other areas of the platform.
