Locking This is part of Commerce Vision's Franchiser and Multi-site website features. Requires 4.38+. |
Overview
For multisite control, administrator roles on the deploying site can lock campaigns, or individual objects in a campaign, then deploy these locked statuses to the destination sites. Users on these sites also cannot add, edit or delete a locked object. If a whole campaign is locked, none of its objects can be changed.
When locking is enabled, locked/unlocked buttons appear against lockable objects. The locked button automatically displays for locked campaigns. Unlocked buttons display only on hover.

Locked campaign
Overview
You can only deploy a whole campaign. The campaign can be new or already on the target site. For pre-existing campaigns, campaign details will be replaced by deployed data. (This means you can re-deploy the same campaign to make any changes to a previous deployment.)
Use case: CV Franchise HQ is launching a nationwide sales campaign to promote certain seasonal products for the month of October. Marketing wants consistency in the campaign, from included products to the campaign details. The campaign is to have a banner and slider on the homepage of all franchisee sites from the 1st to 30th of October. In the source site CMS, the campaign is created, locked, and then deployed to all franchisee sites.
