Overriding code list check-out

A company administrator (admin) or IBM Support can override (undo) the check-out that another user placed on a code list. The Undo check out function is only available when the user checks out the code list but not yet deployed.

About this task

Checking out a code list allows the person who checked it out to upload changes. A company administrator (admin) or IBM Support might need to use the Undo check out function in the user interface in various scenarios. For example, if a code list is checked out by one user but that user is not available and another user needs to revise the code list.

Procedure

  1. From the side navigation menu, select Company resources > Code lists. Then, on the Code lists page, click the Action options menu for the code list check-out you want to reverse.
  2. From the Action options menu, select Undo check out.
    The Confirmation modal is displayed.
  3. Click Undo.
    The code list check-out is reversed and any user can check it out.
    Important: If you undo check-out for the first version (version 1, that is) of the code list, the entire code list is deleted.
