Editing styles

In Infor Fashion PLM, you have two ways to edit styles: normal mode and locked mode. To edit a style in normal mode, click the Edit icon on the toolbar or right-click a record and select Edit.

Another way to edit a style is in locked mode. To edit a style in locked mode, open the Style panel. Right-click a style record and select Edit in Locked Mode.

Editing a record in locked mode opens the details page of a style and enables a search-and-scan field on the toolbar. By locking styles, you can:
  • Browse records seamlessly

    Click Previous Record and Next Record to view styles without closing the current style details page that you are viewing.

  • Search for and open records instantly

    In the Search field, type the style number of the record that you want to edit and press Enter on your keyboard. This takes you directly to the details page of the style.

  • Maintain a consistent view of tabs and panes

    Click any tab on the current style details page and open any pane in the sidebar. When you open the previous or next record, the style is displayed with the same active tab as the previous style details page.

Note: If a user opens a style record that is used by another user, a message is displayed to indicate that the record is locked and can be viewed in read-only mode.

A read-only mode in a style record disables the user to edit the style information. Editing the Status column in the style grid is also disabled.

If a user opens a style that is recently edited by another user, then the record is automatically refreshed to ensure that the latest updates are included.

If the application closes unexpectedly, the record is locked to the user editing the style. Only the user that last edited the record can re-open the record by clicking Edit or Lock and Edit to continue editing the record. The record is then locked from other users.

See Configuring locked record settings.

When editing an attachment from an existing style record, there is no need to rename the file with edited values. You may resave the attached file with the original name.
