Lock objects

You can lock objects so that they cannot be edited, for example, to perform a review. As long as the lock is enabled, only the user who applied it can edit the locked items.

Prerequisite

You have the Lock permanently function privilege or are a system user.

Procedure

  1. Click ARIS > Explorer Explorer. The Explorer tab opens.

  2. Open the relevant database, click the relevant group, and select the objects you want to lock on the Objects tab.

  3. Right-click in the selection.

  4. Click Lock/Unlock > LockLock. The Lock objects dialog opens in which you can select further objects for locking.

  5. Add further objects, if necessary.

  6. Click OK. The dialog closes and the system checks whether the selected items can be locked.

When the lock is set, you will receive a message. If items cannot be locked due to the restrictions, you are notified, and you can use the Lock items dialog to display the items that could not be locked.

The locked items remain locked until you or a system user unlocks them.
