Note:
Data Locking in Models is an opt-in feature. You must call Planful Support if you want to use Model Data Locking. Model Data Locking prevents any map, formula, calculation, data load, or API call from modifying the data that is locked.

You must logoff and login again for the settings to take effect.

Data that is locked appears with a gray background in views and reports.
