Field Description
Include Projects in Briefcase Data Source

Use this option to specify whether or not you want to view projects from the briefcase data source in the [Results] field.

  • If you select this option, Open Plan displays the name and description of the projects that you have:
    • Checked out to the Briefcase data source
    • Created in the Briefcase data source
    • Checked out in the Main data source
  • If you clear this option, Open Plan displays only the name and description of the projects you have checked out from the Main data source.
[Results]

This box displays the projects you currently have checked out in the Main data source or to the Briefcase data source. The projects that display depend on the Include Projects in the Briefcase Data Source setting.

Check In

Click to check the project back in to the Main data source. The manner in which this is done depends on how the project was checked out:

  • If you checked the project out to the Briefcase data source, Open Plan copies the project files back to the Main data source, removes the lock on the project, and deletes the copy in the Briefcase data source. If you created a project in the Briefcase data source that shares the same name as a project in the Main data source, you will not be able to check that project in.
  • If you checked the project out in the Main data source, Open Plan removes the lock on the project but does not copy any files because the most recent update is already stored in the Main data source.
Close

Click to close the dialog box without making any changes.

Details

Click to display the Checked Out Projects dialog box where you can view information about the users who have a project checked out.

Help

Click to display the dialog box help topic.

Undo Check Out

If the project was checked out in the Briefcase data source, this option removes the lock from the project in the Main data source. Any changes made to the project while briefcased are not copied to the Main data source. This option is not available for projects checked out in the Main data source.
