User-Specific Settings

Dialog boxes and prompts

You can define comments to be asked of the user upon each check-in. If the Check in immediately option has been selected for file closure, comments are not requested.

By default, a warning is always displayed when the user logs out if the user has objects checked out. Dialog boxes are also closed after a default timeout.

Behavior at file open

You can define for each file extension type whether the specific file format is always opened in Check Out or Open as read-only state. You can also specify for each extension type that, upon opening each file, the software asks the state in which the file is to be opened.

Behavior at file close

You can define which actions are performed on the file upon closing it. The definition applies to all file formats. By default, the user will be asked what they wish to do to the file upon closing it. If the user does not change the default procedure (Do not check in), the dialog will be automatically closed after a chosen time and the document will remain checked out.
