Effect of Locking

You can configure segment auto-locking by enabling one or more TM properties. By default, these properties are set to false. When one of the properties is set to true, then saving a locked segment to translation memory causes subsequent TM ICE matches resulting from this segment to be locked as well. So if you leverage the TM and an ICE match results from a locked segment, the segment to which the TM match was applied is also locked.

The properties that enable automatic locking are as follows:

If a SPICE match results and the TM entry is locked. Configure the TM property:
```
enable_auto_segment_lock_on_locked_spice_match= false|true
```
If an ICE match results and TM entry is locked. Configure the TM property:
```
enable_auto_segment_lock_on_locked_ice_match= false|true
```
ICE match with locked TM entry from same asset. Configure the TM property:
```
enable_auto_segment_lock_on_locked_ice_asset_match= false|true
```
