ALIM Web Help

Copy and Link Registration Mode

The Copy and Link registration option is available only when documents are registered automatically from ProjectWise to ALIM Web. For more information, see "Configuring Synchronization Options", in AssetWise Director Help.

When using this registration option, the file physically resides in both AssetWise ALIM and ProjectWise. A critical principle for the exchange of engineering information between AssetWise ALIM and ProjectWise is that at any one time, only one system has control over modifying that information, and further that it is obvious to the end user whether AssetWise ALIM or ProjectWise has control. In order to control this procedure, the following options should be used in AssetWise Director or ALIM Web:
  • Check Out to ProjectWise: Checks out the document to ProjectWise and make changes to file in ProjectWise. See Check Out to ProjectWise.
  • Check In from ProjectWise: Checks in the document from ProjectWise and applies the changes that were made in ProjectWise. See Check In from ProjectWise.
  • Cancel Check Out to ProjectWise: Reverts all changes that were made in ProjectWise. See Cancel Check Out to ProjectWise.
