Preferences That Affect Resolution of Incomplete Dependent Objects
While Creo Parametric can display incomplete dependents in the workspace and upload them to the server, Windchill does not allow the check-in of incomplete dependent objects. A preference in the Windchill Preference Management utility, > , can be set to one of four values to allow check-in of an assembly by ignoring certain dependencies or to disallow the ignoring of dependencies (and thereby disallow the check-in of assemblies containing unresolved incomplete dependent objects).
If incomplete object resolution is set to one of the following values, the behaviors described result:
• If set to "Ignore optional dependencies" (default), any CAD tool internal and non-required dependencies are ignored.
• If set to "Ignore optional reference dependencies," any reference dependencies are ignored.
• If set to "Ignore internal dependencies only," only internal CAD tool dependencies are ignored.
• If set to "Do not allow to ignore," no incomplete dependencies can be ignored.
In addition, the following preferences control system behavior toward incomplete dependent objects during the Check In action.
The preference, > > , controls the default behavior whether to resolve incomplete objects automatically upon Check In.
If the preference Resolve Incomplete Objects is set to "yes," or if the Auto resolve incomplete objects check box is selected on the Check In page, the preference, > > , controls the default behavior whether to update incomplete objects on server upon resolving incomplete objects upon Check In.

The server-side ghost resolution setting (Incomplete object resolution) is used when a user selects the Auto resolve incomplete objects option on the Check In page, or in case of using the Creo Parametric > > command. The setting on the server is not used if the user clears the Auto resolve incomplete objects option on the Check In page (the user selection not to resolve incomplete objects from the Check In page has precedence over the server-side setting). This could result in a valid check-in failure if there are incomplete objects in the check-in list.
