How to Set Up Locked Kits

How Locked Kits Work

• For admins: Full flexibility to manage and adjust locked kits
• For non-admin users: Can reserve partially available kits, but cannot check out incomplete kits

Enabling Locked Kits

1. In Add-Ons → Kits → Settings, toggle 'lock kits' setting to 'on'
2. Go to the kit details page for any kit you want to lock. Get there by:
   1. selecting Kits in the left navigation
   2. searching for a Kit by name in the top search bar
3. Navigate to the Info tab and toggle the lock 'on'

To unlock a kit later, return to the kit details page, go to the Info tab, and toggle the lock 'off'.

Reconciling Kit Changes

When you modify a locked kit's contents (add, remove, or replace items), you'll be prompted to reconcile:

• Choose to reconcile: Open and draft reservations automatically update with current kit contents
• Skip reconciliation: Users will encounter conflicts at checkout and need to reconcile manually

Common Issues

• Multi-location kits: Items at different locations will create soft conflicts, preventing non-admin checkout
• Retired items: Always remove retired items from kits and reconcile future reservations
• Items in custody: Remove items from kits when they move into someone’s custody and reconcile to prevent checkout issues

Best Practices

• Always reconcile when prompted after making kit changes
• Keep kit items at the same location when possible
• Remove unavailable items immediately and reconcile reservations when prompted
• Use a mix of locked and unlocked kits based on your workflow needs
