All,

I am trying to do an admin checkin on some files in the vault added by another user.  In one case the files were dropped in the vault, not checked in and the computer was taken out of service.  I have 2 issues that I would like answers on if possible.

  1. Do I have to be logged in as admin on the computer in which the files reside locally to perform a forced checkin or can this be done over the network as long as I'm logged into the vault as admin?  Situation (user has a file that was placed in the vault, not checked in and the user is out on vacation.  As admin I want to check the file into the vault.)
  2. If the computer the files were on has been taken out of service and is unavailable, can the files in the vault be checked in?  I assume no, I just want to be sure of the actual functionality of EPDM.  If the files can be checked in, how?  I am logged in as admin, I get the check in prompt but I am unable to select any of the function checkboxes that allow me to perform the function.  I can perform a "delete" on the file just no checkin.

Any help is appriciated.

Thanks,

Rich
