Use the feature to lock or unlock sections in an Interactive Reporting document. A locked section cannot be modified except when using Interactive Reporting Studio, which enables administrators to make sections of an Interactive Reporting document read-only.
Lock and unlock works with the duplicatable and unduplicatable feature. A section that is unlocked is duplicatable. A section that is locked can be duplicatable or unduplicatable.
The feature is provided to prevent end users from being able to change dashboard sections. For example, an end user who uses a plug-in, such as Interactive Reporting Web Client, is prevented from making changes to sections if the lock flag is activated.
