Locking an SBR Field

When you lock a field in an SBR, that field can only be updated through the EDM by a user who has overwrite permissions. Locking a field in the SBR removes the survivor calculator from the update process for that field and any updates made to or by system records will not update the locked fields in the SBR.

ProcedureTo Lock a Field in the SBR

  1. Using one of the search methods described in Searching for Object Profiles on the EDM, display the object profile containing the field you want to lock on the View/Edit page.

  2. In the EUID tree, select the component in the SBR containing the field you want to lock.

  3. If necessary, update the value of the field to be locked.

  4. Select the overwrite check box to the left of the field.

  5. Click Commit.

    The field is now locked and cannot be edited by updates to system records until the lock is removed.
