Hello,
I noticed that in the Navigator window for Field Data that certain stands are highlighted gray. I am unable to "select" (blue highlight) any of these gray highlighted stands. I am only able to "focus" (yellow highlight) on the gray highlighted stands. I can resolve this issue by closing out of the program.
What is the function/purpose of the gray selection? How do I toggle this function on/off?
Many thanks,
Alannah
Hi Alannah,
The greying of stands is to show the stands are not “locked” by you yet. Locking is a feature of the Enterprise version of Assisi, but sometimes when I edit data using an Enterprise version, I forget to unlock the stands when I am done. Sorry, I forgot to unlock them when I was done.
The way it works is this:
If stand backgrounds are grey, they are not locked by anyone. Lock them by right clicking with ctrl key down. To lock all stands, select all units, then ctrl right click to lock.
If stands are grey and dimmed, then they are already locked by someone else. Since you run in Desktop and not Enterprise mode, you should unlock all stands using the "Reset Locks" query in the Query Editor. This will unlock all stands so that you can lock them using ctrl right lick.
Note that Plans and Operations work the same way. work the same way: they lock and unlock.
Hope this helps!
