In-Use

What can you do on this screen?

On the In-Use screen, you can review and reset in-use data that may be preventing you or another user from editing something in LEAD. Whenever you open an item in LEAD for editing, that item is set to be in-use or locked, meaning other users cannot simultaneously edit the same item. However, there are times when an item is locked when no one is actually editing the item, i.e., the system hiccupped and didn't unlock the item, when it should have.

After reviewing the In-Use information, you can delete Table-Delete those with your own user name.

For items that are marked in-use by another user, please contact that user before deleting Table-Delete the in-use item to prevent loss of data (and work).

You can also verify whether the user that has locked the item in question is currently logged into LEAD by going to the Admin > Users screen (Using the Currently Logged In Users filter). As a user that is not logged in should not have any in-use items, though it may take a  while for any in-use items to clear automatically. Once you've verified the user is not logged in, you can delete the in-use items.

Deleting Table-Delete older in-use items will typically not cause any problems.
