  An exclusive lock is a type of lock in SAP MFG-PCO Plant Connectivity that prevents other users from accessing the same data at the same time. It is used to ensure that only one user can make changes to the data at any given time.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use an exclusive lock, a user must first select the data they wish to lock. Once the data is selected, the user can then click on the “Lock” button in the toolbar. This will create an exclusive lock on the data, preventing other users from accessing it until the lock is released.
