Group Properties - Warnings Tab

Use the Warnings tab to specify conditions that will block check in, check out, change state, and increment revision operations.

For example, you can prevent group members from incrementing a revision when a file is checked out.

To access this tab:

  1. Display a group's Properties dialog box, by expanding the Groups node and double-clicking the group or right-clicking Groups and selecting New Group.
  2. In the left pane, click Warnings.

Can't ignore any warnings

If any warning is reported, the user cannot perform the operation.

Affected operation
