Quitting the application
If one does not already exist, a private workspace is created when a user requests repository access: HOPEX saves a view of the state of the repository at the moment the user is connected.
The user can add his/her own modifications without being disturbed by any concurrent modifications of other users: in the case of a network installation, each HOPEX user has his/her own view of the repository.
To save your latest modifications at any time, in the
HOPEX menu bar, click
Save All 
or select
File > Save All.
To exit your work session:
1. In the menu bar, select File > Exit.
The HOPEX exit dialog box appears.
If HOPEXis installed on a network, a dialog box will ask you if you want to dispatch the modifications you made.
2. (Optional) In the Dispatch comment (Report) frame, enter a comment to remind you of modifications made in your private workspace.
3. (Optional) Select a design task and select Complete task if necessary.
4. Click:
• Yes
Modifications you have made in your private workspace are saved in the repository.

In order to work effectively as a team, it is recommended that you dispatch frequently and regularly. Other users can update their own private workspace without dispatching their work (menu
File > Refresh).

This exit mode also allows the user to select a different repository the next time he/she logs in.
• No
All modifications you made since your last dispatch will be lost. You can use this option if you want to view data quickly and exit without impacting the repository.

Modifications to your desktop are also lost.
• Later
This option allows you to keep your changes without impacting the repository. You can open your session later and continue working but other users are not yet seeing the changes you have made.

Click
Cancel to not exit your private workspace.
