Section Locks

There are different types of locks on sections. The status bar indicates what type of lock is applied to a
selected section.

Note: All locks are applied to each individual section and are not recursive. Only text that appears in blue can be

modified.

Section-Level Merge Modes

EXM files ship with section-level merge modes already defined according to section content. Merge
modes determine how section information is handled when an updated EXM file is deployed to the
terminal where an existing version of that EXM file is stored.

Merge modes are indicated by folder icons and in the Status bar.

Description

Merge Effect

Delete + Add

Deletes non-common children elements (i.e., subsections, and keys) in
the target file, then adds the new information from the bar code.
Basically, the new section replaces the old section.
This is the default merge mode for new sections.

Exclusive

Disable +
Add

Disables non-common children elements (i.e., subsections, and keys) in
the target file, then adds the new information from the bar code.
Note: Disabled sections and keys removed from the simplified bar code

end up as disabled in the target file.

Add Only

Adds new information (sections and keys) to the existing section. If this
is a brand new section, the new section is added to the existing EXM
file.
Note: Disabled sections removed from the simplified bar code are not

modified in the target file.
