Working with the Attaché Case
The Attaché Case facilitates working with documents off-line. You use it to
pull documents from the library and work with them while disconnected
from the library. When you place documents in the Attaché 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 Attaché 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 Attaché Case:
1. Any document, except archived documents, whether a draft or a
version, can be placed in the Attaché Case.
2. Documents that are already checked out by you can be placed in the
Attaché 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 Attaché Case in Edit Mode.
4. Any review document can be placed in the Attaché 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 Attaché Case as View Mode only.
6. When documents, other than review documents, are placed in the
Attaché Case, they are automatically checked out to you if added in
Edit mode.
7. Documents in the Attaché Case may be returned to the Library
individually or all at once.
Adding a document to the Attaché Case
All documents, except archived documents, have an Add to Attaché Case
menu item on their context menus. To add a document to the Attaché Case,
select the document and choose Add to Attaché 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 Attaché 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 Attaché Case only in view mode, and given
the choice of proceeding with View mode, or canceling the operation.
Viewing the Attaché Case contents
To view the contents of the Attaché Case, right-click the Attaché Case icon
and select Explore or Open from the context menu. The view pane will
display the set of documents currently in the Attaché Case. For each
