Locking Multichannel Cycle Plans
To prevent unintended changes and ensure data integrity, MCCP admin users can lock Multichannel Cycle Plans by enabling the locked__v field on mc_cycle_plan__v records. When the plan is locked, end users cannot edit the plan or related records. Locking an MCCP does not depend on the status of the cycle or cycle plan; plans can be locked at any time.
For example, before an MCCP begins but after planning is complete, the finalized plan can be locked to prevent further edits. Once the cycle starts, locking ensures the plan is consistent while users execute it. If adjustments are needed mid-cycle, the plan can be unlocked, edited, and relocked as needed. After the cycle concludes, locking is optional but can be useful to preserve the plan as it was at the end of the cycle, maintaining an accurate record.
