How to Perform Automatic Check in and Check out

You can perform automatic check in and check out by using the Encyclopedia option under Model on the workstation main menu. The procedures for the six associated options appear in hypertext help on the workstation.

The six options are:

• Check Out A Model-Sends a copy of a model or subset from the Host Encyclopedia to an encyclopedia on a workstation.
• Update And Check In Model-Sends changes to a model or subset from a workstation encyclopedia to the Host Encyclopedia.
• Update But Do Not Check In-Sends changes to model or subset data from the encyclopedia on a workstation to the Host Encyclopedia, but leaves the active model or subset on the workstation checked out.
• Resend Last Update-Resends the last update of the transaction file.
• Verify Last Update-Checks to see whether the last update to the model or subset sent to the Host Encyclopedia was successful.
• Generate New Model-Uses a workstation copy to restore a model that no longer exists on the Host Encyclopedia or adds a new model to the Host Encyclopedia.
