Add items (records) in iSheets

Item record locking

If you have built an iSheet for a project where multiple users will be making frequent, concurrent edits to items, it is possible that two or more users will try to edit the same item at the same time. To prevent an editing conflict, you can turn on
Record locking
 for the iSheet. Record locking prevents users from editing an item that another user is in the process of updating.
Firstly, you must enable this feature by selecting the
Enable record locking
 checkbox within the iSheet configuration settings.
With record locking enabled, a user who attempts to edit an iSheet item that is currently open and being edited by another user receives a message that the record is locked.
The user cannot edit the item until the user currently editing either saves the item, saves the item as a draft, or cancels the edit.

Other conflict scenarios

A user may begin to edit an item and then open up another browser or tab and attempt to edit the same item. In this scenario, a message displays asking to transfer the lock and resume editing in the current window.
Another possibility is that a user attempts to edit a saved draft in their Drafts view for an item that is currently open for editing by another user. In this case, a message displays that the record is locked for editing by another user.
The user can choose to save their updates as a draft or cancel their changes.
