We've run into some problems where two people have been making changes to the same record at the same time and changes were lost. This would be a problem in any situation but is more so for us because we are entering what can be many pages of information using the TinyMCE editor into what Dataface considers a single field in a record. Hence, this has already resulted in a fair amount of time being wasted when people have had to re-enter changes that were made.
Someone at our office suggested that the way to do this would likely be to create a check-out and check-in methodology in DataFace.
