Digital Factory Planning and
Simulation with Tecnomatix
2.3.2.1 Check In/Check Out
1 Introduction
If Tecnomatix is installed in the three-tier configuration, Process Designer allows multiple users to work simultaneously on the same project. The
2 Process Designer Check In & Check Out mechanisms decide which object can be edited or only viewed by a user. These are useful if you are working in a team as
they ensure that only one person can edit a specific project scope at one time, thus preventing data inconsistency.
2.1 Introduction to Process
Designer

2.1.1 Working Environment & Check In

Graphical User Interface
By checking in an object, the edited object is updated in the database and returned to the public eMServer. Another user is now able to check out
2.1.2 Menu Bar and Toolbars this object and change or edit this object. To check in an object:

2.1.3 Tree Structure
2.1.4 Graphic viewer
2.1.4.1 Displaying Objects
2.1.4.2 Toolbars and Buttons
2.1.4.3 Controlling Objects
2.1.4.4 Display/Adjust Floor
2.1.5 Other Viewing Options
2.1.5.1 Gantt Viewer
2.1.5.2 PERT Viewer
1. Select the object(s) to be checked in from the Navigation Tree.
2. Open the Check In dialog box using one of the following steps:
Select Edit > Check In from the menu bar,
Right-click the object and select Check In from the context menu,
Click the Check In button on the toolbar.
3. Select the required options and click OK.
The option Check In with hierarchy enables you to also check in all the children objects of the selected object node.
The option Check In as new version enables you to check in a new version of the object node.
The option Keep objects checked out enables you to update the database, but keep the object node checked out for
further changes. Other users can view the updated object but have no access to edit the object.

2.3.1 Underständing Objects in
Process Designer By checking out an object, the object is locked for editing by a specific user who checked out the object. Another team member can only view the
object and is not able to make any changes on the object. To check out an object:
2.3.1.1 Library
1. Select the object(s) to be checked out from the Navigation Tree
2.3.1.2 Compound Objects
2. Open the Check Out dialog box using one of the following steps:
2.3.1.3 Twin Objects
Select Edit > Check Out from the menu bar,
2.3.1.4 Process Designer Study Right click the object and select Check Out from the context menu,

Another option is the Cancel Check Out command. This unlocks the selected nodes and all nodes related to them, and also cancels all changes
