Locking Document Files

yuuvis® RAD client 10.x »

Document files can be locked while the file content is being edited. In yuuvis® RAD client (and in yuuvis® RAD agent), locked document files are indicated by Locked icon Lock icons. Document files locked by other yuuvis® RAD users are indicated by a red Locked icon Lock icon.

The document lock is only available when editing a document using the optional yuuvis® RAD agent and yuuvis® RAD office-365-dashlet extensions.

  • Using yuuvis® RAD agent to Lock Documents

    When using yuuvis® RAD agent to edit documents, the document file is locked immediately when it is opened. Once you have finished editing, the document file is unlocked again when you close it.

  • Document Lock and yuuvis® RAD office-365-dashlet

    Document files that are opened for editing via the yuuvis® RAD office-365-dashlet are not checked out until the user makes the first changes in the Microsoft Office 365 cloud. Until then, other users can open and edit the document file in another application. In such cases, the editor receives a message in Microsoft Office 365 notifying them that changes made to the document file in the cloud cannot be saved in yuuvis® RAD.

    This is also the case when the document file is closed. The document edited in the Microsoft Office 365 cloud is not unlocked again until the last editor closes the document.

    The document lock settings in the settings menu only apply to documents edited in yuuvis® RAD agent. They do not apply to the document lock when the document is edited in yuuvis® RAD office-365-dashlet.
