check in and check out

Check in and check out ensure that only one user can change the definition of an Application Studio report at any time. While a report is checked out to you, other users can see it but not make any changes to it. The report is shown in their view of the Report Catalog but is highlighted with a white cross. When you check it in, it can be opened by other users. If another user opens the report it becomes checked out to them. Users can also check out reports by right-clicking them in the Report Catalog and selecting Check-in/out >Check-out. When you create a report it is checked out to you. It is not visible to other users until you check it in.
