Scrolling window types

Three types of scrolling windows are available in Dexterity: browse-only, editable, and adds-allowed.

Browse-only scrolling windows

A browse-only scrolling window only displays records from the linked table. The user can “browse” through the contents of the linked table, but can’t make changes or add items to the scrolling window. Browse-only scrolling windows are typically used for lookup windows. You can make a scrolling window browse-only by setting the WindowType property for the scrolling window to Browse Only.

Editable scrolling windows

An editable scrolling window allows the user to change the contents of lines in the scrolling window. These changes can be saved to the table linked to the scrolling window. You can make a scrolling window editable by setting the WindowType property for the scrolling window to Editable.

Adds-allowed scrolling windows

An adds-allowed scrolling window has a blank line at the bottom of the window where the user can add new information to the window and save it in the table linked to the window. You can create an adds-allowed scrolling window by setting the WindowType property for the scrolling window to Adds Allowed.
