  • Unlock Colleague Session

    •  In Colleague, a record can only be viewed by one person at a time. If you are trying to view a record and you get an error indicating that it's locked, first try contacting the person specified who has the record open (please allow the person a few minutes to finish the task). Oftentimes, people forget to close the session thus locking the record for others. If you can't get in touch with the specified person; please contact Help Desk or submit a ticket and our team can unlock the record for you. Unlocking the record means that we will manually end the session for the other person who has that session open so that you can view the record.
