SDM-DesignTracker 5.0 User Guide - MKS

Working With Entities - Ready for Check Out
This option is used by developers to ready a list of entities (programs, files, data
areas, job descriptions, and so forth) for check out by setting the disposition to 1.
This option allows you to create SDM-Implementer projects and to notify the
programmer that the entities are available for check out, if you are going to use
SDM-DesignTracker for checking out objects.
A project leader or programmer typically performs this function when a design
request is ready to be implemented.
This task assumes you are in the Work with Design Requests panel, the design
request you want to work with exists, an entity list is created with the disposition of
0=Not ready, and the request is approved.
To work with entities and be ready for
checkout:
1. Select option 12 on Work with Design Request panel to display the
Work with Entity List Member panel.
2. If an entity is ready to be checked out the disposition is set to 1. To
ready a newly created entity, type 8 in the option field on the Work
with Entity list panel for each entity and press ENTER. This readies the
entity for check out and sets the disposition from 0 (zero) to 1.
Note: Before the disposition can be set to 1=Ready for check out, it must be
approved. This applies to design requests also.
3. Press F3=Exit to redisplay the main menu.
Ready for Checkout Task Variations
You can ready the entity for check out at the time of creation in the second Create
Entity List Member panel by typing disposition 1=Ready for check out.
