Check-out Dialog

On the Admin→Preferences... dialog, you can use the Check-out Dialog tab to define the default settings for the Check-Out files dialog.

The controls on this page correspond to the same controls that appear on the Check-out file dialog. Those check boxes that have three states mean "yes" (when checked), "no" (when clear), and "use the QVCS archive setting" (when in a greyed state). Setting them here will determine the default settings for the Check-out dialog controls when the Check-out dialog is displayed.

Each field has the following meaning:

Expand Keywords

This corresponds to the "Expand Keywords" check box in the Check-out file dialog. Enable this check box if you want the default behavior to be to expand any keywords in the work file following a check-out operation. If left unchecked, the default behavior will be not to expand keywords.

Check-out children

This corresponds to the "Check-out children" check box which appears in the Check-out file dialog for project-level operations. Enable this check box if you want the default behavior to be to check out all files in all subdirectories of the specified directory. If left unchecked, the default behavior will be to check out only those files in the selected directory.

The two drop-down selection menus also correspond to fields on the Check-out file dialog and will set the default selection on the dialog.
