Abstract
A context locking method and system lock context of a set of members in a crosstab for further data exploration and analysis. The context locking system has a context information manager and a locking manager. The context locking method information manager collects context information of the selected member. The context locking method manager locks the context of the selected set based on the context information during further exploration or analysis of the crosstab, while allowing the locked set to reflect data changes in the data source.
