Lock Sequence Assemblies

When a sequence assembly is ready to be added to life cycle, it is locked to prevent unsolicited changes.

Once an assembly is locked, only an administrator can make changes and synchronize the assembly with the DMS. It is recommended that you lock the binding of all documents used in the assembly.

You can manually lock an assembly or you can use the Change Submittal Status wizard to mark the assembly as submitted. This locks the assembly automatically. The Change Submittal Status wizard enables you to update a submission status after a sequence assembly has been received by the regulatory agency. When you change the status, the submission is finalized and you can use it in subsequent submission life cycle updates by adding it to the submitted view. In addition, the statuses of related entities (application, event, sequence, assembly) and key status attributes such as first submittal date are updated automatically.

Note: Only an administrator can unlock a locked assembly.
