Could definitely use a Function that returns the User ID of the individual placing a lock on a given record or set of records (and the time of the lock).
I realize this is available via the application Server front-end. However, sometimes it becomes more of an issue when someone "takes off from their terminal and leaves the node in Edit mode ...". Example: someone goes for lunch and leaves an important record (that other people need access to) open for editing.
See also discussion under thread http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t ... ight=locks.
Would like to be able to communicate with the (frustrated) user that "Joe in Accounting has placed a lock on this record at 08:45. The lock will automatically be released at 09:30 if Joe is not using this record."
It is not always desirable to "go see the sys-admin".
Important for larger install bases and SAAS implementations.
Thanks, Michael
