Application-Level Data Locking for Reports

This application setting lets Power users enforce locked dimension members for all reports at the application level. Power and Contributor users can specify which dimension members are Locked using Model > Model Administration > Data Locking. Locked members prevent any modifications to their data through user input or calculations.

To lock dimension members across all views at the application level, select the Manage task and the Application Administration, Application Settings subtask. Under the Report Property called Data Locking, select Application Level (shown below).

Selecting Application Level applies data locking to all Reports for all Models for all users in the Dynamic Planning application.

For the Data Locking property, select from the following options:

• Application Level – This is the default. This option turns on data locking in Reports. This option is globally applicable for all the Reports and all Models in the Dynamic Planning application and for all users.

• None – This option turns off data locking in Reports. Although dimension members may be set up as locked, None specifies that these members are not locked in Reports. If you want to specify individual cell-level locking within a report, you can use Report Design and Format Manager as shown below.
