The Carlson Data Depot is a document management system to allow
tracking of the changing states of files and projects over time and
manage the contributions from multiple users providing data
integrity, productivity and accountability for the managed
products. Once a project has been successfully registered with the
Data Depot using the Project
Explorer, it can be retrieved through the Data
Depot for subsequent editing.
Continue below to the "Select the Project" section.
For ProjectWise the "Select Included Data Type
Categories" dialog will appear. Here the user can select which
types of files to download from the repository. A special category
"Non Carlson" is used to determine whether files not associated
with Carlson Software should be downloaded or not (e.g. Word .DOC
documents or Microstation .DGN files). If the user wants even more
control over what files are downloaded, say at the drawing level,
he/she can use the "Clear All" button to deselect all categories.
In this case, only the directory structure plus the Project File
(.PRJ) will be downloaded. This allows the user to select which
drawings they want to download from the repository directly from
the Carlson Project Explorer.
Selecting
the Project:Select the project you would like to open and click OK. Unless
you have selected "Use Automatic Project Folder Name" (see
Set Project/Data Folder for more information), you will be
prompted to identify a "working" folder where the checked-out
copies of your project files will reside:
Identify the destination folder location and click OK. The checked-out copies of the project files will be placed into the specified folder at which point further editing can begin.
