How do I set a form to read only

Set a form to Read-Only

There are two quick methods to set a form to read-only. On method simply makes the elements read-only. The second method will remove the Form's buttons. Either of these methods can prevent changing individual fields, however, both should be used together to truly lock a field down so it cannot be modified in any way.

1. Open the form that needs Read-Only Permissions

2. Navigate to Options > Permissions Builders in the form header.
