Lock Item Record Page
Hey,
I have written this code to lock people out if a user is already in edit.
We have had major problems with multiple users in one item and then any work they have done is lost, because they all in edit. MChamma advised to do a script, which I have but it does not work
if (type == 'edit')
function beforeLoad(type,form)
{
(nlapiGetRecordId('Employee', 'Employee ID'))
nlapiSubmitField('custitem41', nlapiGetRecordId(), 'Employee ID');
var ReadID = nlapiGetFieldValue('custitem41');
if (ReadID == '(nlapiGetRecordId('Employee', 'Employee ID'))'){
alert('Note you will not be able to edit any fields or save the record as (nlapiGetRecordId('Employee ID') is currently in the record');
