Check In a Subset

To update a model on the Host Encyclopedia after working on one of its subsets, use Update And Check In Model or Update But Do Not Check In.

Both functions are options on the Model\Encyclopedia drop‑downs. Both are documented in online help.

If you check out a subset and add objects to it on the workstation, then Update But Do Not Check In, your subset maintains Delete protection and Full expansion of the new objects. No one else can use the objects. To share the new objects with other users, use Update and Check In Model. The addition of objects on the workstation also alters your subset definition.

When you check in the subset, the new objects remain in the subset definition with Modify protection and Default expansion. Before you check out the subset again, review the subset definition for added objects to determine whether the new objects still require scoping and whether the expansion and protection are appropriate.

Note: As a rule, after adding a procedure, modify the subset definition to scope on the procedure step instead of the procedure.
