Event Structure: Graphic showing if an Event Locks Front Panel

Status: New

It would be very helpful if the Event Structure had a little icon that shows if the event Locks the Front Panel:

 

Front Panel Locked:

21161iBA922ECBE615130B

 

Front Panel Unlocked:

21163iFA7A2220EBC06692

 

The first image has other examples of the "lock" icon, all taken from the Icon Editor glyphs.

 

Thoughts?

This is probably related to my idea here.

 

Remember that an event case can have multiple events, and each can have it's own lock setting so your image is a bit simplistic. I think it is sufficient to see it in the event configuration dialog as in my idea.

Good point, I had forgotten that is was per event instead of per event case.

 

The external glyph could just tell the user that there is at least one event inside that case that locks the FP, and then in the dialog your idea takes over: each event has its own glyph.

 

Kudos to your idea.
