Change Protection

The change protection serves to protect the objects in a project (pages, functions, segments from the pre-planning, etc.) against any kind of change. The respective objects cannot be edited, deleted, etc. subsequently and all the fields are grayed out in the respective property dialogs.

When the change protection is activated at the selected objects, the properties Change protection (ID 3014) and Change protection (hierarchical) (ID 3015) are activated automatically. Only the property Change protection (hierarchical) is activated for subordinate objects, for example the functions of a page with change protection. These properties serve only for display and cannot be edited manually.

The change protection is carried out automatically by the program at some functionalities in the EPLAN Platform (for example when a subproject is filed off). However, you can use the Configure protection dialog to assign a manual change protection specifically to one or more pages, functions or segments.

The various application cases of change protection act additively. A page created in pre-planning with change protection can, for example, have an automatic change protection assigned to it again when subprojects are filed off. In such a case this page disposes of two types of change protection due to the actions carried out. When the subproject is filed back on, the change protection through filing off becomes invalid, while the other change protection through the pre-planning remains.

Automatic change protection

An automatic change protection becomes effective at the following applications in the EPLAN Platform.

Change protection for structure identifiers

The structure identifiers of a project are also protected automatically against changes at some functionalities in the EPLAN Platform (for example when a subproject is filed off). This protects the structure identifiers themselves and the respective describing texts.

In order to assign a change protection manually to structure identifiers or to deactivate an automatic change protection temporarily, you can also branch from the structure identifier management into the configuration dialog for the protection. The popup menu item Configure protection is available to this purpose in the tree as well as in the list.
