Repository Configurations

A configuration is a set of document versions, which are grouped together in order to make them easier to recover. Configurations can be useful for grouping model versions that have dependencies between them (for example, through generation links or shortcuts) or documents that represent a particular point in your development, such as a release. You can easily check out all the documents included in the configuration.

In the following example, the versions used for a minor release are circled, and are included in a configuration called Minor Release:

• Creating a Configuration
  If you have the Manage Configurations right, you can create configurations.
• Managing Configuration Members
  You add and control the document versions belonging to a configuration on the Members tab of its property sheet.
• Checking Out a Configuration
  You can check out all the document versions contained within a configuration in a single check out.
• Checking Out a Project Configuration
  When you check out a project, you can check out all the project document versions contained within a project configuration in a single check out.
