Exiting HOPEX
Before exiting HOPEX, remember to save your data, see:
If one does not already exist, a private workspace is created when you request repository access: HOPEX saves a view of the state of the repository at the moment you connect.
You can add your 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 toolbar, click Save All or in the menu bar select File > Save All.
When you exit HOPEX, you close your session. You can:
save in the repository the modifications you have made in your private workspace
keep the modifications you have made in your private workspace
*These modifications will remain awaiting validation, subsequent modification, or deletion.
cancel modifications you have made.
To exit your work session:
1. In the HOPEX menu bar, select File > Exit.
A dialog box appears.
2. (Optional) In the Dispatch comment (Report) frame, enter a comment to remind you of modifications made in your private workspace.
*This comment is added in the dispatch properties, see Viewing the Dispatches and their Content.
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.
