Changing the Access Mode

Open Plan supports different access modes.

The following are the different access modes that Open Plan supports:

  • Exclusive: In this mode, you have exclusive access to the file. Other users can open the file only in Read Only mode (regardless of their access rights to the file).
  • Read Only: In this mode, you can view the data in the file and copy the file using the Save As command. However, you cannot modify the original file in any way.
  • Shared: In this mode, you can read and write to the original project file. More than one user may have shared access to a file at the same time.

When you open a file by right-clicking an icon in the Open Plan Explorer, Open Plan also enables you to select Default. This option opens the file in the access mode that was identified as the default on the General tab of the Properties dialog box.

The Change Mode command enables you to change the access mode in which you have a file open.

On the File menu, click Manage Files > Mode to display the Change Access Mode dialog box. The Access Mode list displays the modes to which you can change the file. If the file is currently open by another user, the mode in which that user has the file open may impact the changes that you can make. For example, if both you and another user have a file open in Shared mode, you can change the mode only to Read Only. Exclusive mode is disabled.

After you have selected a new access mode for the file, you must click Change to put the new access mode into effect.
