Check In Form
Use this form to check in a design.
Both the check-in and check-out processes control access to the design data files that design team members store in a project design management repository, so that:
-
When you check out a file, the software copies the file from the project design management repository to your current workarea.
-
When you check in a file, the software copies the file, as a completed version, from your workarea to the project design management repository and assigns the next version number.
Cadence recommends that you do not check in design data files that are locked. A locked design data file is one that someone else is currently editing. If you try to check in a locked file, an error message gets displayed. To resolve the error, close design windows or change the files to read-only mode before you check them in.

Comment
|
This section lets you describe the check-in.
|
|
|
When you add the details, such as version information, about a library or cell check-in, the software attaches a copy of the comment to every cellview in the library.
You cannot edit or delete the comment after you close the Check In form.

Check In Options
|
This section displays various check-in options.
|
|
|
When the Check In command is directly invoked, the Check In form format that is displayed is the same as that for the Check Out form and the Cancel Checkout form. However, the ability to switch command tabs, in the respective forms, is restricted to the command action that is currently applicable, as the legal file sets are mutually exclusive.
The only exception is in relation to the Cancel Check Out and Check In tabs, when using the Check Out command, as either of these actions could be applied to checked out files.
The Check In command also handles new, or un-managed files, but these file sets would be inappropriate in the context of, for example, a Cancel command.
