<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Navigation:  Writing the Report > Creating Fillable Forms > Lock the Topic

The last thing we need to do as set a topic view so that the report writer cannot type anywhere else except in the fields.

 

1.Go to Tools > Report Designer > Report View Manager.

2.In the left pane click on the topic that contains the form.

3.Find the Layout field, in the middle pane, and click the magnifying glass.

4.Click [Save As…] and give the layout a unique name. [Click OK].

5.Check off “Field Entry Style Report” click [Apply] to set the layout and [OK] to close the manager.

 

This new Layout can be used on any topic where you have a form. Simply choose it from the dropdown in step 2 instead of clicking the magnifying glass.
