Record editing by two users at the same time

[jdow]

I was poised with the question on how PLM 360 handles multiple users (who have edit access to a record) who are in the same record editing various fields?  I know that the first person who saves wins and the other user(s) will receive a message that their view needs to be refreshed due to changes made by another user.  The issue here is that the other users don't know if someone else is editing when they are and they are only warned/told when someone makes a save.  This means the other users will lose the data they just entered (by having to refresh).

Customer wants to know if there is any way to allow users to know if some has started to edited data before they also start to edit data on the same record?

Thanks,

John

I know there are "other" ways to handle this via workflow but wanted to better understand this situation regardless.

Presently, there isn't a way. Kindly log a idea exchange with the aforementioned problem statement.
