There are some fields in most of the data entry screens having grey background. Those are called read only fields. We are having two versions of read only fields in our system.
- System Generated
- User Created
System Generated – Read only fields
This fields are generated and auto populated by the system. There are system settings which are setup during initial setup of the site. These settings helps system to generate ready only fields.
Examples of system generated read only fields are Student Number, Invoice Number, Receipt Number
User Created – Read only fields
This fields are auto populated by the system once these are entered by the user on their entry screens. Let me illustrate it with example, A user enters USI on USI entry screen.
Now once the USI is entered here by the user. The system will auto populate it on other screens as read only field. This helps us in maintaining data accuracy and reduce entering same data again and again by user. For example USI number is a read only field on student entry screen and it will fetch the data from USI entry screen.
