The LRS Locks table contains route, line, and event locks. The easiest way to differentiate between the lock types is to look at the contents of the Event column. If a cell in the Event column is populated, it is an event lock (point 2 above). If a cell in the event column is blank, it is a route or line lock (point 1 above).

Filters in the locks table
As Location Referencing users complete everyday editing workflows, the locks table could have route and event locks from a variety of users, in different versions, on a variety of events, and on a variety of routes. To expedite the sorting of the locks in the table, filters are available based on the user, version, event, and route in which the locks were acquired. The filters can be used individually or in combination to only show the list of locks meeting those conditions.
