Locking and Unlocking All (POV) Locations
The lock all locations feature prevents data from being loaded to a selected POV by locking all locations related to the current period and category for an entire target application. When a location has been locked, you cannot import, validate, export, or re-run the validation.
When a location is locked, a lock symbol ( ) is displayed in the POV bar.
The Lock All Locations feature is referenced in the:

An "Unlock All Location" option is also available so that you can unlock all locked location. You can provide an option on the Select Point of View screen that enables users to unlock a POV by location.
