Check In All Option (Vault)

Check In All Option (Vault)

Not sure if this should be on the Vault site or here. Since this is an option that only affects Inventor I chose to place it here.

 

Many times I have 20+ drawings that need to be checked in. I can open all 20 at once but then have to check them in one at a time. It would be nice to have a Check In All button much like the Save All button.

I am having somewhat scimilar issues with checking in. I often have an ASM or an IDW of an ASM open as well as several part-IDW files.

When i close a part IDW i want to check it in and delete it from my WF. This fails because the part is still open/used in de (IDW-)ASM that is also open. So i end up just checking in and having a WF with a bunch of IDW's. Manually deleting these is scarry as i need to be sure it was checked in. so i compare the vault with explorer to see i i may delete the file.

 

Can't we just get the abillity to check-in the allowable files (the IDW and maybe some parts/asm's that are not open elsewere) and let the open files be?

 

Closing down an IDW/ASM to be able to check in part-IDW's also leaves a bunch of files behind in the WF.

 

The option to check-in &  delete all open files is also great as it might just get all open files to be synced to the same file version. Making vault purges a lot easier.

Love this idea! It would be great too to be able to input one comment that would need to go on these many files. Saving a ton of time from having to make sure you did check in everything and copy and paste the comments.

Sorry for the delay in reply. With the option - Include Related files in the Check-in dialog now you can include all the related IDW/DWG files. Does that solve the issue?

Hi.

For me and the workflow described above, this does not help.

Nor does it help the original poster as this would not save-close-checkin all open files.

Got it. Thanks for the reply.
