Administrative Actions
Windchill provides site administrators and organization administrators the capability to initiate check in, undo checkout, remove, and rename actions in other users’ workspace. Such capability enables the administrator to remove the lock placed on the object when the user is unavailable or unable to complete the action.
The administrative actions Check In, Undo Checkout, and Remove enable you to initiate actions on the objects that you select, and these actions are completed without a follow-up user interface.
In this section, we will see:
• Checkin, Undo Checkout, and Remove Objects
• Rename Object
