Project table

Name     Displays the name of the project.

Version     Displays the project version. You can use project versions to archive projects, model projects, or propose a project. There are three types of versions: Published, Archive, and Offline. There can be only one published version of any project.

Checked-Out?     Indicates whether the project is currently checked out.

Checked Out By     If the project has been checked out, displays the user name of the person who has checked it out.

Open options

Read-only to view     Specifies that you want to open the selected project in read-only mode, so you can review but not change it. When you select this option, projects unavailable to you for viewing in read-only mode are TE000129117.

Read/write to check out     Specifies that you want to check out the selected project so you can make changes. When you select this option, projects unavailable to you for checkout are dimmed. This option is selected by default.

Open from File     Displays the Open dialog box, which you can use to open a local project, rather than a project from the server.

Note: The same dialog box appears whether you are opening a project or inserting a project into another project. When inserting a project, the Open button changes to the Insert button, and the Open from File button becomes the Insert from File button.
