Editing Features 

Use

On the Features tab page you make settings for the features and feature locks of a card contract.

The details in the Card Identification group box provide information about the card you are currently editing. You cannot enter or change any of these details.

In the  Features group box you can activate or deactivate attributes from the  Feature attribute category on the basis of the characteristics preset by the product. This means you can choose to permit or not permit features for the card.

In the  Feature Locks group box, you can set or remove feature locks for the card, provided Posting Lock Management (PLM) is not active. If PLM is active, you can only set or remove a feature lock by creating a PLM document.

In the Other Locks group box, you can display or edit system renewal locks.
