Working with My Checkouts and Bulk Actions

Quickly view, access, and take action on your checkouts with My Checkouts and Bulk Actions. These features are available in the Designer Studio header and the Private Explorer.

My Checkouts

Click the My Checkouts icon in the Designer Studio header to open a list of rules checked out by your operator. Rules are organized by type, name, and Applies To class. In the My Checkouts overlay, you can:

• Click any rule type to see only checked-out rules of that specific type.
• Click any rule name to open the rule.
• Expand any row to see all versions of the checked-out rule.
• Click the Type or Name columns to sort the list.
• Use the filter icon in the Type and Name columns to apply more specific filter criteria.

The message "No checked out records" appears when your operator does not have any rules checked out.

Using PMF integration with a bulk action:

If your application is enabled for Project Management tracking and integrated with the Project Management Framework, you can associate a check in with a PMF item on your worklist.

When following the instructions to perform a bulk check in, include these steps before you click Start:

1. Select a PMF item from your worklist in the Associate to PMF Item drop-down list. This can be a bug, task, issue, or story.
2. Enter a number in the Additional Hours field to indicate how many hours were spent on the PMF item.
3. Check the Resolve box if (as part of this check in) you have completed PMF item.
