SharePoint - Lock items

Hi,

is it possible to dot this: in a custom list, if one user view the properties of an item, the other users can not view the properties of this item, as long as the first user has not finished?

thnx

hi,

Steps:

1. Open your SharePoint site in Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
2. On the Site menu, click Contributor Settings.
3. Click a Contributor group, and then click Modify.
4. In the Contributor Group Properties dialog box, clear the Allow unrestricted use of SharePoint Designer check box.

When you clear this check box, all of the other options in the General category and the remaining categories in the Contributor Group Properties dialog box become available.

5. Clear the Allow use of Code view check box.

hi

you have to set permissions for this:

Take a look at how

• a standard document library implements check-out / check-in
• this effectively locks the SP - item corresponding to a document

You can then

• develop a custom list
• making use of the same check-out/check-in approach

If you're application truly does need more control over locking (such as at list level) then perhaps its a code smell that you're pushing SharePoint lists too hard and you should be using a RDBMS (e.g. SQL Server) with full ACID properties?

The field definition element <Field> has the following properties that can be used to show/hide the field in the UI.

• ShowField 

• ShowInDisplayForm 

• ShowInEditForm 
      

• ShowInNewForm

Hi,

thnx for your reply, but the idea is that if one user goes at view properties, to be noticed if there is another user viewing the same item.
Have you any idea?
