Locking and Unlocking a POV

Locking the POV prevents locations from modifying the data. When a location has been locked for a particular period or category, users cannot import, validate, export, or rerun the validation report.

When a location is locked, a lock symbol ( Image shows Lock symbol ) is displayed in the POV bar.
