1. Lockdown Component eligibility

Lockdown eligibility groups, established through the Lockdown User Group Page, dictate the individuals impacted by the lockdown. These groups may be structured according to user roles or product keys, giving administrators the flexibility to include or exclude specific members from the lockdown group.

2. Defining Lockdown Events

The lockdown framework offers flexibility in determining the timing, rationale, and scope of component lockdowns. Administrators can define the specifics of a lockdown event on the Lockdown Event Definition page. These events can be either general or process-based, enabling targeted lockdowns according to processes and stages.

For process-based events, administrators must specify the involved processes and phases. The sequence number dictates the order of the lockdowns. Additionally, the lockdown message section allows administrators to provide a customizable message explaining the reason behind user exclusion from a component.

3. Setting up Lockdown Schedules

Administrators can specify the timing of the lockdown by defining schedules or processes and phases through the Lockdown Schedule Options section. Within this section, they can enable, disable, or delete lockdown schedules. Through configuring these schedules, administrators can exert precise control over when the lockdown is initiated, thereby minimizing disruption to critical processes.

4. Setting up Processes and Phases

The Process Phase Setup page is essential for configuring processes and phases for lockdown purposes. Administrators can define these processes and phases for products or countries, which are then utilized to lock down components. This setup captures the required phases that will be reflected in event definitions, thereby improving the precision of the lockdown framework.
