Scenario
At TGB, candidates applying for an open position are interviewed by three to six existing employees. Each interviewer can independently rate a candidate in parallel processes. The Human Resources (HR) department determined that multiple interviewers and all HR personnel need to access and potentially update the candidate case at any time. Human Resources (HR) requests that the application prompts the user to reload or close the case without saving if changes have already been committed by another user.
