Excluding Cells to Allow Entering Values

Once you have lock a worksheet from modifications, all the cells in the sheet become read-only. Often it is desirable to setup a sheet as a form, such that only certain cells can be modified to allow user to enter values into.

 

Admin Mode

We have introduced the concept of Admin Mode to the Origin Project, with an Admin password.
