File Locking for Objects
Each object is automatically locked when it is opened by a user. The locked objects are displayed with a lock mark (
), and other users will not be able to open them.
If you attempt to open the locked object, an error message will appear, and show the information on the user who is currently opening the object.
The locked object can be forcibly unlocked as necessary. The unlock can be done in the following steps.
| Unlocking a Locked Object |
| The following explains how to unlock a locked object. Note that all the edits made while the object is opened will be discarded when it has been unlocked. |
