WPS Lock View on Windows FAQ

When using Lock View, the most common questions fall into 3 areas: whether data stays editable, who can operate the setting, and what the lock affects.

FAQ

Can I still edit table data after I lock a view?

1. Yes. You can still edit table data.
2. Lock View protects display settings such as filters, sorting, grouping, field visibility, and row height.
3. As long as you still have table editing permission, you can edit data while the view remains locked.

Who can lock or unlock a view?

1. When advanced permissions are not enabled, users with table editing permission can lock or unlock a view.
2. When advanced permissions are enabled, users usually need view editing permission or table management permission.
3. If your account cannot use the setting, check the permission settings of the current table first.

Does locking a view affect other views or the original data?

1. Locking a view mainly controls whether the current view configuration can be changed.
2. It does not directly delete, overwrite, or hide the original data itself.
3. Whether other views are affected depends on whether they share the same display configuration and on the current permission settings.
