Checked Out State

IP Mapping makes use of the ability of Joomla to control multi-user access on records. In this component we control all of the records types (location and reasons). When a User edits an item, Joomla! changes the item's status to Checked Out (represented by the padlock icon). The record is locked and only the User who has checked it out can modify it. This is a safety/security feature that prevents two Users from editing an Item at the same time, thus preventing the loss of any data upon saving.

A table record remains "Checked Out" until the User clicks Apply, Save, or Cancel while editing it. Once saved, the record item is Checked In. However, if there's a connection error, such as when the User presses the browser's Backicon, or they choose another IP Mapping Item without saving or cancelling the work in progress, the IP Mapping Item remains Checked Out. This means no one else can edit it.

Using the Global Checkin can be used to unlock all Items that are currently Checked Out, or depending on the items marked only the specific item groups, across the whole site. It can only be performed by a Super administrator. The action commences as soon as the IP Mapping Item is clicked.

WARNING:  Performing a Global Checkin while IP Mapping items are open for editing will result in data loss. All Checked Out Items will be checked in, and any unsaved changes will be lost.

In the rare situation of a lock not being freed, the lock can be released either with the IP Mapping list or from the Global Checkin.
