Modify a Model's Checkout User ID

Modify the checkout user ID to permit someone other than the person who originally checked out a model to check in a model. Changing the checkout user ID is useful when the person who checked out the model is unavailable to check in the model.

To modify the checkout user ID

• You must be an encyclopedia administrator, the model administrator, or the user who checked out the model.
• The model must be checked out.
• The new user ID must have the required access to check out the model.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the encyclopedia through the Encyclopedia Client.
2. Open the model.
3. In the Encyclopedia Model Selection window, select Checkout, Modify Userid.
4. Type the new user ID in the New Userid field and select OK.

The user that has the new user ID can now update the model.
