LRS Locks table

Available with Location Referencing license.

The LRS Locks table allows you to view, acquire, and release route and event locks.

The Locks Table button LRS Locks table on theĀ Location Referencing tab is available if an LRS Network from a conflict prevention-enabled LRS is added to the Contents pane. Click the Locks Table button LRS Locks table to open the table.

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 contains a value, the lock is an event lock. If a cell in the Event column is blank, the lock is a route lock.

The following is an example of event and route locks in the LRS Locks table:

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 this 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).

The following is an example of the LRS Locks table with user22 logged in using Version2.

The locks were acquired by user22 using Version2, and their edits were saved, resulting in a releasable status value of On Post.

2

The locks were acquired by user22 using Version2, and they didn't save any edits, resulting in a releasable status of Yes.

3

The locks were acquired by user11 using Version1, and the logged-in user (user22) didn't acquire the lock, resulting in a releasable status of No.

The following is an example of the LRS Locks table with user11 logged in using Version1:
