Locking and unlocking selections

With the lock option, you can protect your selections.

Locking selections

You can lock a selection by clicking the lock icon \ in the selection popup. The lock prevents any changes from being made to that selection. You can neither change nor clear a locked selection. If you have locked a selection and then try to select excluded field values, the selection item will flash to indicate that the locked selection prevents the selection from being made.
