Locking a Stratum
If you are logging an Interplay MAM asset, the stratum is locked to prevent other users from editing the stratum at the same time. The lock is automatically set when you begin editing the stratum. You can manually set a lock before beginning editing by clicking the Lock button.
If another user opens the stratum while it is locked, and clicks the Lock button or tries to edit the stratum, the tool tip for the Lock button reads “Cannot lock. The stratum is locked by user <name>.”
The stratum remains locked until you do one of the following:
• Select another stratum
• Load another asset in the Logging pane
• Close the Logging pane
• Log off from MediaCentral UX.
To manually lock a stratum:
Click the Lock button.
When the stratum is locked, the Lock button turns orange.
You can manually unlock the stratum by clicking the Lock button. If you make an edit, the lock is automatically set again.
