You can use the asset lock function to lock the configured assets in multiple visualization applications so that they are not changed at will.

Background information

Locking a widget allows you to achieve the following results:
  • After an asset is locked, it is not affected by other operations during the visualization application layout process.
  • Once an asset is locked, you cannot perform any operations on the asset on the canvas until it is unlocked.
  • This allows the asset to perfectly avoid accidents caused by excessive visual application assets and operational errors.

Procedure

  2. On the Projects page, click Edit above the project that you created.
  3. In Canvas Editor, click an asset in the Layer column or on the canvas.
