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
In the Repository, navigate to the database group containing the content you want to lock. When you select the group, its content is displayed.
If you want to lock an object, move the mouse pointer to the row with the object and click More. If you want to lock multiple objects, enable the check boxes for the relevant objects and click More above the item list. The menu is displayed.
Click Lock. The lock is applied and you will be informed of the result. If it was impossible to lock one or multiple objects, you will be informed of the objects that were locked and those that could not be locked.
Locked objects can only be edited by you. The locked objects remain locked until you or a system user unlock them again.
