Check in files and binders

When finishing editing a checked-out file or binder, you can check it in to the archive database. Checking in a file or binder makes a new version in which changes are backed up and protected in the archive database. If you are working on a file or binder over a long period of time, we recommend that you check in the file or binder daily.
IMPORTANT:
Since the check-out process differs between the FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client and web client, if you check out a file or binder using FactoryTalk AssetCentre Web Client, you must use FactoryTalk AssetCentre Web Client to check it in.
Prerequisites
  • To check in files or binders, you must have the
    CheckOut - CheckIn
    permission.
    If the
    CheckIn does not require MoC workflow
     permission is denied, you must submit a check-in request and get approval from the configured workflow approvers.
  • To check in a file or binder that another user has checked out, you must have the
    Override Archive Check In
    permission.
To check in files, folders, or binders
  1. On
    Assets
    , expand the asset tree, and then select a file, a binder, or an asset containing the files to check in.
  2. Select the
    Check In
     button.
    If the
    CheckIn does not require MoC workflow
     permission is denied, you must submit a check-in request and get approval from the configured workflow approvers.
  3. Complete the
    Check In
     dialog.
    TIP:
    The name of the file or the folder to be checked in must be consistent with the name of the checked-out file or folder.
  4. Select
    OK
    .
    The checkmark next to the file or binder disappears in the asset pane. The record of the check-in operation appears on the
    History
    tab.
