Does IRis contain a record-locking feature?
By design, when a record is opened, IRis 2.3 and 3.0 automatically lock the record. This means that when any other users try to open a file already in use, access will be denied until the record is released by the first user. This feature is important to preserving the integrity of your data by eliminating the possibility of two operators accessing/modifying the same record simultaneously, which would cause records to be overwritten and changes to be lost. With IRis, this is not a concern.
