Monitoring and Changing Subset Checkout Status › Override the Checkout Status of a Subset

Override the Checkout Status of a Subset

Overriding the checkout status of a subset lets you change a subset's status from checked out to checked in. The subset can then be checked out again.

You can no longer check in the checked-out subset if you override the checkout status. Any changes made to the subset since the last update will be lost.

You might need to override the checkout status if you make changes to a subset that you do not want to keep.

To override the checkout status of a subset, you must be one of the following:

• The user who checked out the subset
• The subset administrator
• The encyclopedia administrator
• The model administrator
• A member of the group that administers the subset
• A member of the group that administers the model

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the encyclopedia via the Encyclopedia Client.
2. Open the subset.
3. Override the checkout status:
   1. At the Subset Selection window, select Checkout, Override. The Override Checkout Status Confirmation panel appears.
   2. To override the checkout status for this subset, click Yes. For more details, see online help for the Confirm Checkout Status Override topic.
