Locking/Unlocking a Schedule

Before you begin

• Ensure you are logged into the Elda(Chrome) Scheduler Application.  See our article Getting Started with Scheduler for more.
• Ensure your schedule meets the correct criteria to be either Locked or Unlocked.
• Locking can only be done on schedules that previously have been unlocked (sent to factory) and still have tags assigned to them.
• Unlocking can only be done on schedules that have been sent to factory and have a status past Created. Unlocking of a schedule within the system will either unlock the   schedule or send a request on your behalf.
