Hiding the 'View' button entirely
There are different ways of hiding the view button on the grid, depending on the desired outcome:
Prohibit opening records and inline editing
If you do not want your users to make any changes to the existing records or even expand the records using the child form, you can simply disable the Allow users to expand records setting. This will hide the view button, but also disable the inline editing functionality in this view. Therefore, your users will be unable to make any edits to the existing records. You can find this option by going to:
The relevant view settings (see the steps at the top of the page)
Under Expand records, disable Allow users to expand records
Prohibit opening records, but still allow inline editing
If you want users to edit fields inline without being able to open the child form, turn off Show view button for the Grid view. This removes the view-button column while leaving inline editing available when it is otherwise enabled. Please see the steps at the top of the page for instructions on how to get to the correct setting.
