Difference between 'mandatory', 'read only', 'optional'
I must write a specification document for a new software interface but I have some problem to define a component as 'mandatory', 'optional' and 'read only'.
It's maybe an easy question but i need somme example for each case to really well understand.
Thanks in advance

Could you please give me some example for each. ? For example : a button, a text input, a text zone, etc.
Thanks

Not sure what exactly are you looking for in terms of example ... If your interface requires a component to be present without fail it will be mandatory, if your interface can do without a component but it would be nice to have then it would be optional and so on ...
If you can give some more details about what you are doing and shed some light as to what kind of example you are looking for, may be I can provide a better answer.

I have an interface with 2 tabs.
on the first one (select tab), there is a datagrid filled in with n lines and 4 columns (1 picturebox and 3 text zones). Some columns could be empty for certain lines.
If I select one item and I puch on a button, the second tab is enabled and information of my item is displayed in specific field(1 picture box for the thumbnail and 1 text zone for the 3 text columns) on the second tab (search filter tab). On this second tab, there are some text input fields and listmenu's for searching information related with the selected item.
Then I need to define for all my components (button, picture box, text zone,..) if it's mandatory, optionel or read only.
