Records from all five concept types (Drug-Drug Interaction, Drug Pairs, Professional Monograph, Dose Range, Duplicate Therapy) can only be edited by a single user at a time. If more than one user attempts to edit the same record at the same time, the user who entered the record first will have precedence and the subsequent users will receive a message that the record is in-use and cannot be edited at the current time.
If you have opened a record that has been modified by another user while you are looking at it, PECS will warn you that the data is stale. Click OK to load the modified record.
To prevent the record from being locked for too long a time, the lock will be automatically removed if no edits are done in two consecutive minutes. Click OK to continue editing the record.
If navigate away from an un-saved record, a warning dialog box will appear. Click Cancel to continue editing the page; click OK to return to the read-only display.
