Working with the Attache Case
202 Domino.Doc 3.5 User’s Guide
The Attache Case facilitates working with documents offline. You use it to
pull documents from the library and work with them while disconnected
from the library. When you place documents in the Attache Case you are
creating a local copy to view or edit so that you can work on them while
disconnected from the network. When you reconnect, you can easily return
the documents to the library. The Attache Case works best with a manageable
number of documents and is not meant to be a mass export/import
tool.
Things you should know about the Attache Case:
1. Any document, except archived documents, whether a draft or a
version, can be placed in the Attache Case.
2. Documents that are already checked out by you can be placed in the
Attache Case in Edit mode.
3. Documents that are not checked out to any user, but can be checked out
by you, can be placed in the Attache Case in Edit mode.
4. Any review document can be placed in the Attache Case, but can be in
Edit mode only if you have edit permission on it. If you have only
comment permission, it will be in View mode.
5. Any documents that have been checked out by someone else can be
placed in the Attache Case as View mode only.
6. When documents, other than review documents, are placed in the
Attache Case, they are automatically checked out to you if added in
Edit mode.
7. Documents in the Attache Case may be returned to the library
individually or all at once.
Adding a document to the Attache Case
All documents, except archived documents, have an Add to Attache Case
menu item on their context menus. To add a document to the Attache Case,
select the document and choose Add to Attache Case from the context
menu. If the file is checked out by you, or could be checked out by you, you
will be prompted whether to add the file to the Attache Case in Edit mode
or View mode. Select Edit if you want to check out the document. If the
document cannot be checked out to you, you will be informed that the
document can be added to the Attache Case only in view mode, and given
the choice of proceeding with View mode or canceling the operation.
