Checking Out Items (Advanced Mode)

When you have set up an ASCET-Subversion connection and selected a repository, you can proceed as follows to check out items in ASCET (Advanced Mode):

1. In the SCM menu, select Checkout.

   The first page of the Checkout dialog box opens.

2. In the Repository Content pane on the Step 1 of 4 page, select the items you want to check out.

   You can enter a search string in the Search Criteria field to filter the Repository Content pane. The "*" (asterisk) wildcard is allowed at the beginning or at the end of the search string.

3. Click the >> button to copy the latest revisions of the selected items to the Selected Elements pane.

   A double-click on an item in the Selected Elements pane opens the Item Details dialog box with further details for the item.

4. Click Next to display the Step 2 of 4 page.

   This page provides a more detailed overview of the items you selected for checking out. By default, the most recent version is selected for load.

5. To check out a particular version of an item, proceed as follows.

   1. Right-click the item and select Change Revision from the context menu.

      The Select Revision dialog box opens. It lists all available revisions.

   2. Select the revision you want to check out and click Ok.

      The other options in the context menu for selected items enable you to view further details on the item, to remove/add the item from/to the current selection, and to compare the selected revision with the current status in the ASCET database/workspace.

6. Click the Checkout button to start the checkout.

   If conflicts are detected, the Step 3 of 4 page opens. This page lists any conflicts detected (see also Conflicts Found dialog box). Items can be deleted from the list shown on this page. Proceed as follows.

   1. Delete items from the list, if necessary.

   2. Click the Checkout button to start the checkout.

      Checkout of items that can be imported despite the conflicts is performed.

   If no conflicts are detected, the checkout is performed immediately.

   The Step 4 of 4 page is displayed, depending on the current setting of the ASCET-SCM appearance option Show Result List (see also Results dialog box).

   Note
   If an item you checked out was committed with a different version, the item is marked as modified (e.g., ). Note that you still need to lock the items you checked out before you can edit and/or commit them.

7. If you want to view further details on the result of this operation for a given item, double-click on an item on the Step 4 of 4 page to display the Detailed Result Information dialog box.
8. Click Close to complete the checkout operation.
