Waiting Lists

If your organization uses concurrent engineering, they can configure the waiting list process for a document type. This allows multiple engineers to create project copies of a document and edit the document when it's their turn in the queue. When a waiting list is in use, the project copy is locked.

The priority column indicates where the position of the waiting project copy in the waiting list. Priority 0 indicates that the project copy is the one currently being edited. Priorities greater than 0 are waiting to be edited.

When a document is a project copy in a waiting list and is not at the top of that list with priority 0, these actions are unavailable:

  • modify content

  • modify rendition

  • annotate rendition

  • change workflow state

  • create a sub project copy

  • modify references

  • associated commands

Depending on your privileges, you can manage the waiting list for a document on the Master and Project Copies page.
