Lock or unlock a data-entry rule

A lock is automatically applied when you begin editing a rule and is released when you save the rule. If you want to work on a rule for an extended period of time, you can explicitly lock it to prevent others from working on it.

1. In the Project Explorer, select the study object on which the data-entry rule has been created.
2. Select the Rules tab.
3. To explicitly lock a data-entry rule, right-click the data-entry rule, then select Lock.
4. To unlock a data-entry rule that you explicitly locked, right-click the data-entry rule, and select Unlock.
