Lock File - dting - 04-09-2010
Hi,
I don't think this is a proper place to place this question, but I just do not where to ask....
I am new to LetoDMS and I find it quite useful. I don't see, however, the different between Lock and Unlock a file. Anyone can help?
Thanks,
Danny

The lock function is intended mainly to leave a flag for the other users to avoid concurrent modification of the same document. The meaning is "pay attention, I'm currently editing this file".
If you upgrade to the new release (>=1.7.3) the lock status is underlined with a warning messages in the document page, so it's use should be self-explanatory. In addition in "myDocument" page the user has the list of documents currently locked by themself.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it is a mean to prevent other user from editing the document.

That's it. Simply is a "soft" lock, and every authorized user can remove it.
