1.With Stage/Role combination as All/All, select the Description column. To select a table’s column, click on the column header and the column takes on a darker background.
2.Set the State to 'Read-Only'.
3.Repeat for the other three columns. Note that the state markers are not shown for the table object columns.
4.In the Browser bar, change the Stage selection to 'New Application'.
5.Select the Description column again.
6.Set the Stage to 'Normal'.
7.Repeat for the Quantity and Price columns, but NOT for the Value column.

Note: The Value column will always be calculated by the form behavior, so it should remain read-only at all times. The Total will always be calculated so it should remain read-only at all times.


8.With Stage/Role combination as All/All, select the Total object.
