Can a file be checked in automatically when checked into EPDM?

I'm being asked to post this question:

Can a file be checked-in automatically when placed in EPDM? The user is wanting to know if they can avoid having to check in the file. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Robert, you could use the Dispatch add-in to check in a file when it's added to the vault.

If you open the EPDM Administration Tool, click Help, Administration Guide, there is a section in there about Dispatch and how to use it.

Thanks

Prasad

  Prasad,
  
  Thanks for the reply. I will check out Dispatch. Is the check in add-in something that I create? Is there a place where users share add-ins they have built discovered online?

That is a pretty simple Dispatch script. The details for the Conditions may matter, but this image is pretty much it.

One problem is this would happen for all users (for the file types or folder locations you specify). Auto check in means you lose the ability to fix things before check-in, and add info to data cards. Saves some time for moving in lots of files I guess.
And you should probably block check-in for Outside EPDM (in group settings).
