How to Check In DocumentsChecking in a document means closing the document in your CATIA session and placing it in the electronic vault. Once placed in the vault, everybody can then access it to read it. however, the document is protected from unauthorized modifications. The electronic vault ensures that only those persons with access permission may access a file, and that a file cannot be modified by more than one person at a time.
NoteWhile placing the document in the vault, the application also enables you to keep a copy of the document in your session (use Keep Local File), for instance to reuse it in another workbench. Check In Dialog BoxThe following describes the options in the Check In dialog box: Checking In a Document for the First TimeWhen a document is first created and saved into the SmarTeam database, it is automatically assigned the status "New". This means that the document has not yet been checked into a SmarTeam vault for safekeeping. To protect the document from modifications, place the document into the SmarTeam vault by checking it in. After the document has been checked in, its status is changed to "Checked In" . Checking In a Document (other than the first time)After a document has been checked out and perhaps modified, it must be placed back into the vault. At this point, you can check the document back into the vault in one of two ways:
What happens next?At any time it is possible to reopen the document in your CATIA session. If you need to modify it, the part must be checked out. Otherwise, the part can be copied in your session in read-only mode. |
