Signin/Signout Functions › Introduction

Introduction

Signin and Signout processing (option 1 on the Main Function Menu) allows you to explicitly reserve entities for the exclusive use of a CCID or a user. The Auto-Signout capability can also be employed to automatically Signout an entity on first modification implicitly. (See the CA Endevor/DB for CA IDMS Administrator Guide for more information.) Regardless of whether the entity was Signed out implicitly or explicitly, you can view all the entities Signed out to a user or CCID and Signin those entities using the screens described below. To request this facility, fill in an option value of 1 and press Enter from the Main Function Menu.
