Locking of the courses in the same place

The locking of the courses "in the same place"  prevents the displacement of the courses locked by EDT during an automatic placement. It also prevents the removal of courses by inadvertence during a manual modification: to delete a locked course, you must first unlock it. The manual modifications of a locked course (displacement, de-positioning) depend on what the user has chosen in his/her preferences.

Indicate what you prefer during the manual modifications

1. Go to the menu My preferences > placement > Manual placement of courses.
2. In the frame Ttble, tick or un-tick:
   • Do not de-position the locked courses: you cannot de-position courses by coercing the placement of other courses.
   • Allow the displacement of locked courses: no message is displayed when you modify a locked course.

Note: no matter what options are ticked, you can always unlock the course to modify it later.
