Hello!
I’m pretty sure it’s not, but is it possible to disable the Open Row contextual button that pops up when you hover over a row? I have a button that I want them to use instead of the little guy that comes up when you hover, and I don’t want people to get confused.
I’m pretty sure there isn’t a way to disable the standard open row double arrow button.
But i needed to do this and so what I did was make the layout for this table view to only have the open row button on it, so if users do use the standard method they should end up pressing the button anyway!
I will also note here - Using this method you can introduce a lot of intelligence into what view opens when a user presses the button, i.e. views based on who the current user is and any myriad of other criteria one might have.
Can you control what opens withe double arrow thing?
The button I have does more than just open the row though, it modifies the row based on other criteria. So if they open it without pressing the button, the view won’t have the information they need.
No you can’t control/change anything related to the double arrow button. But by creating a view layout for that table view that ONLY shows your button (i.e. no other fields), users end up having to press your button to open the row regardless.
This UX does indeed break some intended workflows.
As you said, if users open a row in this way, they can bypass the functionality of the button you provided.
So this would indeed be a useful feature.
Logically, I think it should be a toggle in the Table Locking control panel.
