Lock Binding
Lock Binding is an option of the Apply Binding to All Children function.
When you select Lock Binding from the Binding Rule options, a repository property retrieval is performed for each Placeholder or Assigned Document within the range and their mapped or calculated properties (including Assignment Status) are updated.
Bindings are changed on all Placeholders and Assigned Documents that:
- Are within the selected element or Root, except for Placeholders and Assigned Documents descended from a Standard locked Folder or Root.
- Have a binding option of Bind to Label or Bind to Status. Those set to Bind to Version are already locked and are not affected.
- Have an object that exists within a DMS (Documentum, Livelink, Veeva, or SharePoint) that fulfills the binding option and its value. If no object meets the current binding criteria, a version number cannot be determined and binding on these elements cannot be locked.
For Documentum, branched versions are not supported so bindings are not changed on any branched Assigned Document version.
