Setting the Checkin and Checkout Properties
A property file is treated the same way as any other design file, and the procedure for checking it in is the same as for any other design file.
There are two methods of property and auto check in and check out, each with its own associated forms.
-
From the Library Manager, select Design Manager – Properties – Check In.
-
A second version of property and auto check in and check out, can also however be accessed from within Virtuoso itself, as a result of when object properties are being edited.
