See the Editing Records in Place section in the "Viewing System: List View" chapter of the Aptify User Guide for for information on how to use this feature.
In Place Editing is a powerful editing tool that may not be suitable for some users since it bypasses form validation (but any system validation at the business object level will still be fully enforced). Therefore, it is disabled by default for all entities and an administrator must enable it on an entity-by-entity basis.
In Place Editing supports both top level entities and sub-type entities. (The In Place Editing option is only available for sub-types when a sub-type is added to a view as a hierarchy.) As with Entity Security settings, In Place Editing security does not flow down from a top level entity to its sub-types. Also, you can enable In Place Editing for a sub-type even when it is disabled at the top level entity.
Follow these steps to enable In Place Editing for a particular entity:

These steps describe how to enable In Place Editing at the entity level. If you have enabled Field Level Security, you also need to enable In Place Editing at the field level (otherwise, you cannot edit any fields in the view, even though the In Place Editing icon appears in a list view's toolbar).
