Hi,

There's about 10 computers here, each of them with a different username.

Hi,

I am currently doing an internship in a translation company.

Yesterday, I deleted a bunch of locked entries in MultiTerm in the terminology bases.

There's about 10 computers here, each of them with a different username.

So, is there any way to have a common profile on every computer? That way they would no longer have issues trying to edit an entry.

Thanks! ▲ Collapse

This means that locked entries should appear rarely. Fortunately, they can be unlocked through MultiTerm Administrator.

May I suggest that in future you post such questions on the public SDL forum at
https://community.sdl.com/products-solutions/solutions/customer_experience_cloud/language/translationproductivity/f/90

This forum is moderated by many experts (not only from SDL, but also) and you have a high chance to get answers to your questions, especially if they relate to server-based products.
