Labels. When a user begins to edit a record that record is locked for
writing. That means other users can only read the record, but can not
modify it. If you try to edit a record which is already edited by another
user you will receive the following error message, if during the 5 seconds
timeout Smart2DCutting can not get write access to
the record:
