What does the check-in check-out feature prevent in Argus Enterprise?

The check-in check-out feature in Argus Enterprise is designed primarily to prevent simultaneous edits from multiple users. When a user checks out a property, they effectively lock the data, allowing only their changes to be saved until they check the property back in. This process ensures that no other users can make edits or changes to the same property at the same time.

This mechanism is crucial in collaborative environments where multiple users may need to access the same data, as it helps maintain data integrity and accuracy. While it can also indirectly help prevent data loss by ensuring that only one set of edits is applied at a time, the main purpose of the check-in/check-out system is to manage access to data and prevent conflicting modifications.

Though preventing others from viewing the property when it's checked out can be considered a consequence of this feature, the primary focus remains on preventing simultaneous edits, making it a crucial tool for data management within the Argus Enterprise platform.
