Hi,
How do I enable/disable a field in CMS Builder - basically I have a number of fields I am populating but need one of the fields to be disabled initially and then enable when I need it - like the hidden record but I don't want to hide all other fileds in record.
Thanks

Just in case I didn't make it clear - say I had a record with fields such as:
Name
Address
Phone No
etc..
and I want to switch off phone no. so it does not get seen until I switch it on - like the hidden field but I don't want to do all the record.
Thanks

Hi,
You can set the Access Level for that field to be Admin Only, then users without Admin access won't see it.
When you are ready to make the field visible again, you can set the Access Level to Everyone.
To set the Access Level for a field, go to Admin > Sections Editors.
Choose "modify" for the section with the field to hide.
Next choose "modify" for the field. In the popup, scroll to the bottom to Advanced Options. Click "show all".
Now you will be able to see the Field Attributes, including the option to set Access Level.
Hope that helps.
