Switching modules as read only

You can choose to switch DOORS® modules as read only. Specify the time period and the modules are switched as read only after the specified time of inactivity.

About this task

After the specified time of inactivity, the modules that you are currently working on or the modules that are open are switched as read only.

Important: Irrespective of whether you selected to automatically save the modules or not, make sure that you save the data from all the modules that are open. Failure to do so might cause data loss because the modules are switched to read only without saving your data.

  2. Go to File > Properties > Database.
  3. Select the Enable switch module to read-only checkbox, and specify the time to switch the modules as read-only.
