Files to Check In

This section selects the files you want to check in.

Refresh Status

Refreshes the current status of items (view, files, and so on), saving you from having to reload the form.

Show

A filter pull-down, which is disabled in the Check Out form, as there are no other filter states which can be applied to re-filter and create a different, valid, set.

Select All

Adds all files to the selection set.

For more information about selecting and deselecting items, see Selecting Items for Copying in the Copy Wizard.

Deselect All

Remove all files from the selection set.

Invert All

Toggles each checked box to the opposite checked setting.

Check Out Options

This section displays all the check-out options.

When the Check Out command is directly invoked, the Check Out form format that is displayed, is the same as that for the Check In 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 Checkout and Check In tabs, when using the Check Out command, as either of these actions could be applied to checked out files.

Although all DM systems must return the DM checkout lock, some can perform the checkout again. Additionally, most, if not all, DM systems returns the checked-in version to the workarea. Some DM systems may restore the exact version that you had previously, while others may only return the latest version. That is, some DM systems tracks the older version of workarea before the checkout in order to restore it.

Use Options

Optionally, select the Use Options check box and type any check out options specific to the particular design management system that you want to use.
