Bulk Managing POV Lock Statuses

You can select a subset of POVs (a POV displays a particular version of an application for a selected snapshot, such as year, period, and scenario) and then lock or unlock them as needed.

You can also filter a list of locked/unlocked POVs, and then perform either a selected action or multiple actions at the same on the filtered set of POVs.

Locking POV Locations

Locking a POV 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.

To lock POV locations:

1. From the Actions menu, select Locations.

2. From the Locations page, select the Lock tab.

3. From Application drop-down, select the application associated with the POV to lock.

   

4. Optional: From Period drop-down, select the period to lock.

5. Optional: From the Category drop-down, select the category to lock.

   For example, select Actual or Budget.

6. Click to select the application to lock.

   Note:

   In order for the POV to show in the detail section, data must be loaded to it.

7. Click to lock the POV.

   A Confirmation message shows the application name that has been locked successfully.

UnLocking POV Locations
