Using the Check In Options window

Chapter 3 Working with Repository Documents

Using the Check In Options window

The Check In Options window allows you to specify how differences between your local copy of a document and the repository version are resolved during check in.

You can arrive at this window in any of the following ways:

Click the Check In Options tool in the Check In Project window. The options specified will apply to all the project models and files being checked in.
Click the Options button at the bottom of the Check In Document window. Note that this button is only available if you are checking in a single document.
Click the Check In Options tool in the Check In Multiple Documents window. The options specified will apply to all the documents being checked in.

You can choose either of the following check in modes in this window:

Check in Mode	Description
Interactive	[default] Opens the Check In Model window (see Using the Check In Model window) before the check in, to allow you to compare the local and repository versions of a model document, and to review and approve or reject differences for check in.
Batch	Automates check in of documents. If you select this mode, you must specify one of the following sub-modes for resolving conflicts: Use my changes – changes in the local model document prevail against changes (made by other users) in the repository version. Keep repository changes – changes in the repository version of the compartment prevail against changes in the local version. Resolve manually – if conflicts exist, the Check In Model window (see Using the Check In Model window) opens to allow you to resolve conflicts. You can set this mode as the default by selecting Tools→General Options, clicking Repository in the left-hand pane, and selecting the Batch update check box.
