ePDM Automatic check in, possible?

Dennis Hvam Apr 28, 2010 5:09 AM

Hello everyone.

I have a collegue request or like 30 collegues requests

They want a possibility to check in ALL their work with either one button or automatic done when they close the computer or ePDM.

I have read some different posts here on the forum, dating back to 2008 where is was not possible, I was hoping that someone somewhere got the knowledge to do this since then

Everything counts, which means that windows schedual can be used, batch, VB, you name it we can use it.

SolidWorks 2010 Sp 2.1

The closest I can think of that we do is that we have a template set up to search for files checked out to a user. Then once the search results are shown, select all and check in. So, if this can be done, then I would think a macro could combine those steps.

  Hello Wayne,
  
  I have already created that option for our users...
  
  But they still forget to do it, maybe it would be easier to create a warning which pops up when trying to close windows with the text "Did you remember to check your files in today?!"

    We are having the same problem here. They forget to check in. The next user need too update the file but cant, and the admin must do an undo checkout insted.

      Hello Einar,
      
      Yeah but if you do that, you'll lose the work that the collegue did (the one who didn't check it in)
      Which might give us double work. so double
