Filemaker Record and Field locking strategies | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

The idea of record locking is that when some event happens a record becomes no longer editable, preserving the contents from change.

I have used two different strategies for record locking before and they are both useful, depending upon the business case.

Two strategies:

1) Lock the entire record from deletion and editing by employing a customized privilege set and a field for tagging the records to lock. Related table records can be locked as well.

2) Rather than locking an entire record, instead lock specific fields while still allowing some fields to still be edited.
