Better method of locking Change Orders

[steveh4]

Been using Change Orders since they were available. One issue we  continue to run into is when you have mutliple users working on the same change, they often leave the CO open the entire day. It's the repository for collecting data about  project. There is a 30 minute lease on CO's and if they don't save they will lose this lease without warning. Another user jumps in now has control of the CO. Often resulting in loss of data for the first user.

Please review the following discussion and please fix.

Vault has the technology of checking in / out. Let's maybe incorporate this same mechanism or the like into CO's...

Or eliminate the time out mechanism and give the administrator the abilty to unlock a CO.

I think meaning "Accepted" is a good thing? If so, THANK YOU for listening.

Users are now able to run "Clear Item and CO locks" from Vault client unser actions menu in Vault Professional 2015

How does "Clear Item and CO locks" fix the issue of notifying a user that the CO lease has timed out?
