Bulk Check In
Check in a large number of files at one time to a project. You access
this dialog box from the VaultAdmin Projects
tab.
All files in a given bulk check-in operation must
be checked into the same project.
Files that are open in SolidWorks or are read-only
cannot be checked in.
Files that already exist in the vault in another
project are not checked in.
The bulk check-in action, including any errors,
is logged in the bulk check-in report.
