Scenario 1: Multiple users working with same design file in offline mode
The scenarios detailed below determine how OpenPlant Modeler handles situations where multiple users need to access the same design file. These scenarios are applicable when working in a PlantSight connected workset.
In this scenario, multiple users are able to work in a common design file if they are all working offline. A user's changes to a design file can be uploaded to PlantSight the next time they are working in the connected mode.
Scenario 2: User 1 references out components while User 2 checks out components and make changes
In this case, User 1 could have a drawing open with components referenced out from PlantSight. At the same time another user (User 2) could check out the same components, make changes, then check in those changes to PlantSight.
For Example:
Scenario 3: User 1 has data checked out and User 2 working in offline mode
OpenPlant Modeler has added the following configuration variable which defines the behavior when trying to open a drawing which has data checked out by another user:
OP_PLANTSIGHT_REFERENCE_ONLY_SUPPORT=ENABLED
