Simplifying Lifecycle Operations

  To make end users gain time, system administrators can now prevent the application from displaying all windows that appear during lifecycle operations (Check In, Check Out, Release, New Release, Undo Check Out) which needs to be performed in CATIA.

For example, suppose you need to create a new release for CATPRD-0042. As you can see, this implies a certain number of interactions that would result in a tedious operation:

To eliminate the display of the different lifecycle windows, proceed as follows:

  1. Click the icon to switch to SmarTeam if not already done.

  2. Select Tools > Administrator Options...

  3. From the Administrator Options dialog box that appears, click Life Cycle Options...

  4. From the Life Cycle Options dialog box now displayed, select No Dialog from the drop-down list as the  Life Cycle Dialog Type option.

  5. Click OK to validate.
    It is not necessary to restart SmarTeam services, nor to reconnect to SmarTeam to take this change into consideration.
