Select the default model data storage location

When a new shared model is uploaded, it is scanned for malware. You can define if the shared model is automatically locked when possible malware has been detected.

By default, a model is automatically locked when possible malware is detected until the administrator unlocks it. For more information, see Lock models and delete model versions in the Management Console.
  1. In the navigation pane of the Management Console for Tekla Model Sharing, click Settings.
  2. If you do not want the models to be automatically locked when possible malware is detected, in the Malware scanning settings, turn off the Lock model when malware is detected setting.
