About the W Property

If an object is locked and editable, then a pencil icon appears in the W property in the Object List Editor. The pencil icon in Siebel Object Hierarchy indicates that all objects in the Object List Editor are locked and editable. If you lock a parent object, then all child objects of this parent are locked throughout the hierarchy. If you lock a child object, then all objects that are parents of this child are locked throughout the hierarchy.

Note: Locking a project is still required before you edit the non-Workspace objects. The non-Workspace objects are Table, Repository, Type, EIM Table, Projects, Dock objects, Schema Maintenance, and Server Components. For more information, see Using Workspaces.
