Available with Location Referencing license.
The LRS Locks table allows you to view and release line, route, and event locks. You can view existing Location Referencing locks, acquire new locks, and release existing locks.
The Locks Table button on theĀ Location Referencing tab is enabled if an LRS Network from a conflict prevention-enabled LRS is added to the Contents pane. Clicking it opens the table.
Note:
The LRS Locks table can be viewed only when conflict prevention is enabled. For more information, see Enabling conflict prevention.
The LRS Locks table contains route, line, and event locks. The easiest way to differentiate between the lock types is to look at the contents of the Event column. If a cell in the Event column is populated, it is an event lock (point 2 above). If a cell in the event column is blank, it is a route or line lock (point 1 above).

Filters in the locks table
Expedite sorting of locks in the table using the available filters for network, user, version, event, line name, or route name. The filters can be used individually or in combination to show only those locks that meet these conditions.
After a value is changed in a filter, the filter is highlighted in blue. The filter is applied to the table only when you click Apply. Once the filter is applied, the cell is no longer highlighted.
Releasing locks
Locks can only be released if the releasable status value is Yes.
Description of the Releasable column in the locks table
Releasable status | Reason |
---|---|
Yes | The lock is owned by the logged-in user (in any version), and the route or event has not been edited. |
On Post | The lock is owned by the logged-in user (in any version), and the route or event has been edited. |
No | The lock is owned by another user. |
To release a lock, select a row with the releasable status value of Yes and click the Release Selected Locks button . Alternatively, click the Release All Releasable Locks button to release all locks with the releasable status value of Yes without selecting any rows.
Impact of the user and version on releasable status
The releasable status reported in the locks table is dependent on the logged-in user and database version being edited. For example: The logged-in user is user22 and the version is Version2.
The first three locks were acquired by user22 using Version2. Since the user saved the edits, the releasable status value is On Post (point 1 above).
The next three locks were acquired by user22 using Version2. Since the user did not save any edits, the releasable status value is Yes (point 2 above).
The final lock was acquired by user11 using Version1. Since the logged-in user is different than the user who acquired the locks, the releasable status value is No (point 3 above).
In another example, the logged-in user is user11 and the version is Version2.
The first six locks were acquired by user22 using Version2. Since the logged-in user is different than the user who acquired the locks, the releasable status value is No (point 2 above).
The final lock was acquired by user11 using Version1. Since the logged-in user is the same as the user who acquired the locks, and they did not save any edits, the releasable status value is Yes (point 1 above). It would have been the same case if the logged-in user and version were user11 and Version2, respectively.
