Sharing a Network Since the 3WXM plan repository resides on a networked server (the host Plan running 3WXM Services), you can easily share access to network plans

among hosts running the 3WXM client.

When you make changes to a network plan, 3WXM locks it on the server. Other 3WXM clients can still open the network plan, but the lock prevents the other clients from modifying it while you are making changes. The network plan remains locked until you save your changes, after which the lock is released. Another client who has the network plan open can then retrieve the changes you made, make their own changes, and save the network plan on the server.

When a user with an administrator or provision account tries to open a plan that is already locked by another user, 3WXM displays the Lock Info page:

The Lock Info page indicates who has locked the network plan. You can optionally override the user’s lock. Note that only a user with Administrator privileges can override another user’s lock.
