Set User Preferences Dialog Box - Defaults for Item Operations

Select an area to customize

Select an aspect of the web client whose behavior you want to customize.

After adding revision

Select the action to be taken with the workfile after add item, check in or upload commands.

After undo checkout

Select the action to be taken with the workfile after undo check out commands.

If workfile unchanged

Select the action to be taken if a check in is attempted and the workfile is unchanged.

Note: The option Check in only changed revisions for the item type, that is set in the Administration Console, has no effect on the web client. You will need to deselect Check in here to achieve this behavior. (This will however be for all item types on a per-user basis.)

If writeable workfile exists

Select the action to be taken when a check out or get item is performed and a writeable workfile exists in the work area.

Get copy only if file modified timestamp is later

Select this option if you do not want a get copy to overwrite the workfile unless the timestamp of the item file is later than the timestamp of the file in the work area.

Note: Dimensions metadata already optimizes the processing of revisions and files that do not need to be updated, so normally you should not check this check box.

If you select this option, the file in the work area will NOT be updated if it has a later file modified timestamp than the file modified timestamp of the revision in the repository, regardless of which revisions these are or how the file in the work area got there.

Delegate items related to a request

Select this option if you want to delegate the items related to a request when you delegate the request.

Include subdirectories

Select this option if you want a get copy to include subdirectories.

Expand substitution variables

Select this option if you want the Get Copy or Update operations to expand substitution variables.

Write metadata

Select this option if you want the Get Copy, Check out or Undo Check out operations to update metadata in the work area.
