Joget DX 8 Stable Released
The stable release for Joget DX 8 is now available, with a focus on UX and Governance.
Form Record Locking is a form element that allows users to lock a record from being edited by other application users for a specified period of time (in minutes).
To see how the Record Locking form element actually functions, we should first create a form. Here are the steps for this process:
1. Go to the website https://github.com/jogetoss/form-record-locking-form-element
2. Go to the "Initial Release" page.
3. Click on the .jar file to initiate the download (see figure 1).
4. Go to your Joget Workflow localhost or server and login as admin.
5. In Joget Console navigate to "Admin Bar>Systems Settings>Manage Plugins" and click the "Upload Plugins" button.
6. In "Upload Plugin", select the plugin .jar file you just downloaded, then click "Upload".
7. You should be able to view the newly installed plugin under the Installed Plugins tab.
8. Remember to always uninstall the old plugin before uploading a new version.
The Joget Workflow Knowledge Base has more information on managing and developing plugins.
10. Observe the timer (reload the page to see the current time left for the record to be unlocked). After the Timer runs out, the 2nd account (Cat Grant) should be able to edit the record and save the new edit.
