Managing Locks

You can lock an object to prevent other users from editing the object. You can manage locks from the toolbar.
If there is a lock on an object, Axon displays an orange padlock icon beside the Edit button. Hovering over this padlock will trigger a message with the name of the user who locked the object. An edit lock prevents more than one user from editing an object concurrently. This lock does not persist after the user has saved and closed the object. The user who applied the edit lock or an administrator can remove this type of lock.
