Exclude locked segments from verification

Question

Hello, 
 I am running SDL Trados Studio SR1 - 16.1.5.4270. 
 I have a document with lots of locked segments. 
 When doing the verification, I get results from the locked segments which I have excluded both in the project settings and in the options. (see screen captures). 
 Is there a setting I am missing or is it a Trados dysfunction ? 
 I have seem other posts related but no one gave a solution. 
 Thank you for your help. 
 Best regards, 
 Pierre Souchar

Any changes done via File -> Options have NO influence on existing projects. This said I see also, that you excluded the segments within your project settings, which is the place to apply such settings. 
 However, you also need to advise tag verifier, terminology verifier and number verifier to exclude locked segments too. Otherwise these QA parts will perform their checks. For now you most probably have only switched off the QA Checker 3.0.

 You have to change these settings also in your language pair. You have done this for "All language pairs", but since 2019 (AFAIR) the settings are also available in each separate language pair and need to be adapted there. 
 The reason is quite simple: you can set general checks within all language pairs, but language specific checks can also be set in the proper language pair. This is important and necessary in multilanguage projects.

KC Lee (KCLee) Please look better, as there must be such settings. 
 On top of this, you MUST look always in your project settings for existing projects. The settings under File -> Options do NOT affect current projects, as already described before in this topic. 
 Here is an example of a multilingual project, where you can clearly see the Verification settings for each language pair.
