Working with the Checked Out by Me report

Displaying the report

Use any of three ways to access the Checked out by Me report:

• Select View > Rules >Checked out by Me.

• Click Checked Out by Me on the left panel of the Advanced Search window.

Interacting with the Checked Out report

This report lists all rules checked out to you, with the most recently updated listed last. These belong to your private RuleSet, identified by your Operator ID. This special RuleSet has only a single version, 01-01-01.

Report columns identify:

• Rule type (Class)
• Rule key (Name) in internal format
• Short Description
• Original RuleSet from which this rule is checked out
• Original version from which this rule is checked out
• Last update date and time of the checked-out rule, or date and time it was checked out if not yet modified.

You can interact with this display:

• Click a row to open the checked-out rule.
• Right-click a row to access a context menu. You can delete the checked-out rule, open the checked out rule, or begin the check in process.
• Click  Bulk   to access the Bulk Check-in display.

Using the Bulk Check-in report

This display allows you to delete, check in, or open multiple rules that you have checked out in a single operation. You can also check in rules filtered by Task ID.

A check box appears at the left of each row, corresponding to a checked-out rule.

1. Select one or more check boxes before clicking any button, or click the Select All link to select all rows.
2. Optionally, select a Task ID from the dropdown list to display all the rules associated with the task. Enable the Resolve check box to resolve the task when check in is complete. If any check-in fails, the task will not resolve successfully.
3. Enter comments for any selected rules that you are to check in or delete.
4. Optionally, enter text in the Bulk Prefix field and click  Insert   to copy this text as a comment for each selected rule.
5. Select Check In, Open or Delete and click  Start   to apply this operation to selected rules. (When you choose Delete, you delete only the rule in your personal RuleSet, not the original rule.)
6. Click  Refresh   to redisplay the current list of checked out rules.
7. Click  Disable Bulk   to return to the Rules Checked Out By Me display.

A red X () indicates a warning, such as a check-in when a higher version exists. You can cancel one check-in, or reconfirm your intention.
