Managing Models › Override Model Checkout Status

Override Model Checkout Status

To change a model's checkout status from checked out to checked in and make it possible to check out the model again.

You lose all the work on the model because the last update when you override the model checkout status.

Consider using override when:

• To discard changes that are made to the model.
• You cannot update the model.
• You checked out a model but received downgrades.

To override the checkout status, you must be one of the following user types:

• The model's administrator
• An encyclopedia administrator
• The user who checked out the model
• A member of the group that administers the model
• The model owner

You use the OVERRIDE command. For more information about the syntax for the command, type OVERRIDE in the directory in which the Encyclopedia client is installed.

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, Override.

   The client opens a window to confirm that you want to override the status.

4. Select Yes.

You can check out the model again.
