Default Work Item Lock Expiry Method — Valid values are None and Relative. None indicates that the lock never expires. Relative indicates that the locks expire after a specified interval. None is the default.
Default Work Item Lock Interval — Indicates the default work item lock interval in seconds. This is relevant only if Default Work Item Lock Expiry Method is Relative.
