Protect

Context

This password locking mechanism allows you to share your networks while ensuring they are not modified by unauthorized users.

When a network is locked, you cannot validate and save the modifications made in the Node Editor, add or delete arcs and nodes, associate dictionaries and databases for learning, modify classes, etc.

However, you can still edit the costs associated with the nodes as they are utilized only in the Validation Mode (e.g., Adaptive Questionnaire, not observable nodes, etc.).

Usage

  • To start protecting a network, select Main Menu > Network > Protect.
  • Unless the network already has a lock, the following dialog box is displayed:
2556410

Upon confirmation of your password, the Lock icon appears in the Status Bar to indicate that the network is unlocked. Click the icon to lock or unlock the network. The icon updates to 18351982 to indicate that the network is locked.

When the network is unlocked, the Network > Lock menu displays the following dialog box:

2556413

This dialog box allows you to:

  • lock the network using the existing password,
  • remove the lock completely,
  • change the lock password.
