To change a rule that belongs to a RuleSet that has the check-out facility turned on:
If you forget which RuleSet or RuleSet
Version a checked-out rule came from, expand the top section of
the rule form. Click the link to access the checked in copy.
Use the Restore operation (
) to undo (back out) a checked-in rule
changes. See How
to restore an earlier copy of a rule after check-in.
When you access the checked-in
edition of a checked out rule, a personal RuleSet appears in
the top section of the form as Checked out
by.... Click the link to open the checked-out copy.
(You can review, but not alter, this copy if it is checked out
by someone else.)
Check-out does not apply to a few rule types, even
when the Use checkout? box is selected:
You can't check
out a rule that is a base rule when you or another developer
has a related circumstance-qualified or time-qualified rule
checked out.
To report on checked-out rules, create a list
view or summary view rule with Data-Rule-Locking
as the Applies To class. Create this rule
using the list view or summary view rule form; you can't
use the Report wizard for this.
You can't check out a rule in an override
RuleSet.
