Host Encyclopedia Subsetting

The following list describes host encyclopedia subsetting:

• Definition of part of a model that a user wants to change on the toolset.
• Checkout of the objects that are requested in the definition, which the software accomplishes by:
  • Making a temporary copy of those objects and transferring them to the toolset.
  • Tracking and resolving conflicts between users trying to change the same object.

A subset is a temporary workset that is created from a model.

Subsetting provides a means of asking for the parts of a model to accomplish a task. Subsetting has been designed to maximize the ability to share objects without conflicting updates.
