In Apps10 how can I keep the sticky notes visible but not editable? 

I have tried to “grant query” on the presentation object EE_NOTES_CONFIG. But I can still edit.

And if I do not grant EE_NOTES_CONFIG at all, the notes are not visible.

I have tried it also in combination with the activity ManageNotes granted or not. But with no luck.

 

The presentation object sais Read Only Allowed. So why is it not working?

 

Thank you!

@STXHILLSCA I don’t think you can make the Sticky Notes read-only. What you could try is have a Custom Event action on inserts / updates of fnd_note_book_tab → write a short PL/SQL block to throw an error message to the user when they try and update/create new stick note.

The event action block of code could be the one below:

BEGIN

Error_SYS.Record_General('StickyNotes', 'Due to Upgrade Prep for IFS Cloud you are no longer allowed to create or update Sticky Notes. Yours truly, IT Dept :).');


END;

Also please see below post as it’s referring to the same topic.

Thank you @Marcel.Ausan ! That is a good idea. I will creat a custom event. 


Update: The custom event has the desired effect that no change and no new sticky note is possible, unfortunately the error is not displayed. So the users changes simply disappear. 

But as this in only temporary until we move to cloud, it will do! 


@STXHILLSCA it's a pitty that the error message doesn't get propagated in the EE client when users try to change the sticky notes. Glad you you could use the approach I suggested. All the best with your IFS Cloud project.
