Victor19 Preventing multiple users in performing updates on the same record on a Visualforce page
Hi,
We have designed a visualforce page for a custom object using a standard SF controller. This standard controller just selects records and displays certain field values for these records along with checkboxes. We are planning on having an error recycle error process as in when a user selects a record and clicks a button the errors in the record are processed. I will be using a controller extension to perform this additional logic.
The issue that we may face with this process is multiple users may have the capability to perform simultaneous updates on the same record. Is there a Salesforce standard method that I can use which prevents users say: User A in performing any updates on Record A when Record A is already being processed by User B.
Any suggestions or feedback will greatly help me out.
Yes, you can use locking statements.

Yes, you can use locking statements.
Thank you!
I was wondering if there is any way of blocking users from the VF side. Can this be only done from the Apex side?
As far as I know, not directly in VF. However, couldn't you render your VF page in read only mode and then when the user hits edit have the apex code re-query the record with a locking statement? That way the record is locked until that user finishes his/her edit(s)?
