Manages documents in your local cache when working in a Teamcenter-managed environment.

Update Status Info

Updates information for all documents in a Teamcenter managed assembly. For managed documents, it retrieves Teamcenter information, such as check out status and version information, from the server and document status information from the local cache.

You can update the status for all documents in the assembly or for a selected set of documents.

Synchronize All

Updates out-of-date documents in your local cache by downloading the latest version of the documents from the library. When you choose Synchronize All, all documents in the cache are synchronized and not just the ones displayed in the document list.

Check-In All

Checks in all checked out documents in your local cache to the library.  This is helpful if you need to check in documents when you are manually managing the cache or trying to clean up the local system.

Download

Loads a document from the library to your local cache.  This is helpful if you want to work off-line.

Delete All

Deletes everything from your local cache.  This is helpful if you want to clean up disk space or force the cache to update with the latest document versions from the library.

• Newer Revision Available, indicating a newer revision of the document exists on the server. The font displays black.

• Newer Version Available, indicating a newer version and revision of the document exists on the server. The text is underlined and font displays blue.

• New, indicating the managed document has not been uploaded or checked in to the server.

• Modified, indicating the document is checked out, waiting to be uploaded, and it is newer than the version on the server. The font displays green.

• Unknown, indicating the document is not checked out and you have not queried the server.

• Checked Out To <username>, indicating another user has the document checked out and a new revision exists. The font color displays dark orange, and is underlined.

• Checked Out To You, indicating you have the document checked out and a new version exists. The font color displays green.

• Deleted from Teamcenter, noting that the document you have selected has been removed from the Teamcenter database. You must delete the document from the cache.

Filtering row

Lists values for filtering the documents displayed in the document list. Each column of the first row of the document list contains filtering information. The first time you display the Cache Assistant dialog, the filter is set to documents Checked Out To You.

Note:

If no filter has been set, All Values displays in each column of the filter row.
