4.5 Lock Steps

The lock button appears at step level (e.g. locking the entire step 3 “Premises attributes”) (visual 10). When a Step's completion percentage reaches 95%, it can be locked by the CPC.

It has several impacts:

• When locked, the data cannot be modified by any user.

• At step-level, it will send a signal to the Quality Assurance (QA) focal point that the data entered can be quality assured. It is only when the QA is completed the locked step can be marked as complete by the QA focal point. Which makes the completion percentage of the step 100%. To know more about QA please check the next section (4.6 Quality Assurance).

• Only the CPC can use the lock function at step-level.
