Generic maps are the maps that most often utilize templates. Some templates may be locked to prevent too many changes from being made. This keeps consistency in all accounts or opportunities and is easy to maintain from an administrative perspective.
Locked templates typically take the form of product maps.
When a template is locked, "Template Locked" is in the top right corner of the map.
When you add a locked template to a map, a warning message appears that all existing data on the map is cleared.
Each time a Revegy administrator updates the locked template, a warning message appears to let you know something is updated.
No new cards, comments, lines, or shapes may be added to the map once it is locked. Only card attributes may be edited.

The list view displays a list of added item cards with their card details in a table format.
