XIA Configuration Administrator's Guide

When items are edited by a user, they are automatically checked out so that they cannot be edited by other users.

This checkout occurs when the edit button is clicked on the toolbar.

NOTE: When an item is checked out, updates are also blocked from the XIA Configuration Client.

When the user saves the changes to an item or clicks the cancel edit button the item is automatically checked in.

In addition items can be checked in using the following methods

• The user who has checked out an item, or a system administrator can select check in item from the tools menu.

• A system administrator can view and check in item using the checked out items user interface.
  
  
• The scheduler can automatically check in items that have been checked out for a specified number of minutes within the check out settings.
