Part list properties - Protected  

 

Protected - checkbox to ensure part list is not deleted / overwritten

 

Protected part lists are not deleted by auto archiving and attempts to delete or replace them must be confirmed by the user.

 

To protect a part list, select the 'Protected' checkbox. The default is unchecked.

 

Protected part lists are indicated by File management on the Part lists section by a padlock in the group column.

2. Renaming, copying or 'Save as' preserves the protected status

 

3. Protected part lists can still be deleted or overwritten by the Operating system (e.g Explorer)
