Workgroup Manager Notifications for Objects with Out-of-date Information with Respect to the Server (Commonspace)
In a Creo Elements/Direct Modeling session, you receive a notification for status change if another user modifies and checks in any of the models in your session. For example, if you have not checked out a model and are using that model only as a reference for your design, another user could check out that model. In such case, if that user modifies the model in their workspace and checks the model back in, the model in your workspace becomes out-of-date.
If your workspace undergoes a periodic refresh or if you refresh your workspace with respect to server information (commonspace), a message appears as pop-up notification on the screen and in the Windchill Workgroup Manager client message area.
For an immediate status check, in the Modeling session perform the following actions:
• To refresh an individual object or model,
1. Select the object in the Modeling Structure Browser.
2. Right-click the selected object and click > .
• To refresh all models in the session, click > > .
