Application Lock

If an application is locked, no one can modify its configuration, such as editing worksheets, editing workflows, exporting applications, copying and deleting applications, etc. Application lock can effectively protect the intellectual property of exported applications, and also facilitate unified maintenance and management of applications.

  • Applications that are imported or distributed cannot be locked.

  • If you want to modify the configuration of the locked application, you need to ask Admin or developer to enter the password to unlock it first.
