Locking a Harness or Slot when Running in Multi User Mode

You can lock a harness or slot when running in multi user mode when using harness concurrency. This means other users cannot edit that harness or slot.

Procedure

1. Do one of the following:Right-click the harness or slot in the Diagram Window or Design Browser (Design tab) and choose Lock.

Click on the harness or slot in the Diagram Window or Design Browser (Design tab), press Space Bar and enter Lock.

Ensure that the object you want to lock is listed on the Concurrency tab and click the unlocked padlock symbol at the start of the table row for it.

2. If the object is listed on the Concurrency tab, the padlock symbol for the object changes to a locked padlock to indicate that the object is locked. The name of the user holding the lock is also displayed in the Locked By column for that object. Any other users viewing the object on the Concurrency tab in another session see a locked padlock with an extra mark .If you have locked a harness, the action also refreshes and locks all single-harness slots on the harness. If you have locked a slot connected to a single harness, the action also refreshes and locks the harness attached to the slot. If you have locked a slot connected to more than one harness, the action also refreshes any harnesses directly connected to it.
