    This enhancement will be included in the next release of Maximo (7.6). Added a Record Edit Mode (record locking) feature that can be enabled for selected applications using Application Designer. Once Enabled an end user will open the application/record in 'read only' mode an will need to 'click' on the 'Record Edit' button to take ownership and be allowed to make updates.

    I rerouted this requirement to the TPAE organization for consideration as part of the record locking work.
