The "Lock/Unlock Application" tool allows an Administrator User to temporarily block other users from using the EventPro application in order to perform administrative functions, such as adding user-defined fields, without disruptions.
Upon enabling the lock, all users will be automatically logged out of the application within a 5-minute period.
