Station Group Administrators have the ability to set a default time lock for the Spot of a Production Order. Administrators can edit the time lock from within the Company Profile - Edit Time Locker. The default timer can be set to the number of minutes selected from the drop-down list. The range can be set from 2 minutes to 30 minutes. The Administrator can also turn this feature off by selecting No Lock.

The Administrator can also choose to lock the entire PO.
When a user is editing a Spot on a Production Order, that spot will be locked for editing until the user completes his or her editing. (*There is a note on the screen reminding you that you have the spot locked for editing)
There is a timeout feature for the user, which is determined by the number of minutes set by the Administrator. This pop-up alert will inform the user of the time remaining. Should a user need additional time, the user can request additional time by pressing the button "I need more time" - see picture below.
During the editing, if another user attempts to enter the PO spot, they will see the lock icon on the spot.
*There is also a notification on the spot noting who is currently editing the locked spot.
