Procedure documentationLocking and Unlocking Tabs Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

When you have edited the data of a tab in your project, you can lock the areas of the tab so that other project participants cannot make any changes. Depending on the structure node, you can lock and unlock entries on the following tabs:

  • General Documentation

  • Project Documentation

  • Administration

  • Transactions

  • End User Roles

  • Configuration

  • Test Cases

  • Development

  • Learning Materials

To protect data security and the integrity of the data, you can use a digital signature to identify the user who locked it.

Prerequisites

To link locking tabs with a digital signature, you have made the settings in SAP Solution Manager Customizing, under   SAP Solution Manager   Capabilities   Implementation/Upgrade   Blueprint and Configuration   Object Attributes   Assign a Signature Strategy to a Locked Project Structure  .

To use the digital signature to lock tabs, choose the Project Node Assignment type.

Procedure

  • To lock the entries of a tab against further editing, choose Lock (Lock) on the tab.

    The system then opens the entries of locked tabs, for example IMG activities, in display mode.

    Note Note

    Locking a tab only prevents locked entries from being edited. You can still edit other tabs or the project structure.

    End of the note.

  • To unlock the entries of a tab, choose Unlock (Unlock) on the tab.
