Field or Control	Description
Use change control locking	Select to require that PeopleSoft Application Designer definitions be locked before they can be modified.
Use change control history	Select to enable PeopleSoft Application Designer developers to insert comments about open definitions. If both Use change control locking and Use change control history check boxes are selected, developers are prompted for comments when locking and unlocking definitions. Note: Because these are system-wide settings, if you change them all users must log off and on again for the changes to take effect.
Lock all definitions	Select or deselect to lock or unlock all definitions in the database. Usually, you lock all definitions only before a major upgrade, because it permanently removes all individual developer locks.
