Changing Field Styles

You can run the Change Field Style trigger to change the style of the selected data entry (edit), check box, radio button, and note field(s). Depending on the field type, the style may be Normal, Read Only, Required, or Required Read. A single trigger can change one or multiple fields at a time. For example, the field style may change to Read-Only for all fields containing lab results after these fields are populated. The template may be configured with a Change Field Style trigger that enables you to reset the field styles to their original states. Note: The Required Read style applies to data entry fields only. This style prevents a template from being saved until the field is populated with read-only data through a trigger. The Required style is not applicable to Note fields. You cannot edit a Read or Required Read field. Parent topic: Using Templates
