CAIRO: Document Check-Out

You must Check-Out a document in order to be able to edit the document. When you create a document it is automatically checked-out. When you have finished creating the document you check-in the document. If you need to edit the document again later you must check-out the document again.

From the main menu click on Check-Out to see this form:

This presents the usual Find Document fields. In this training example we want to find the document Training for yourname. Find this document and select the checkbox to its left. You can select several documents to check out at one time if you want to. Click on the Check-Out button.

Cairo will display this screen:

Also Microsoft Word will be automatically opened so that you can edit the document. You can now work on the document in the usual way - making any changes, saving or printing the document as you go.

But, the changes are not accepted back into the Cairo database until you Check-In the document.
