Workflow configuration for the Check Out custom step (Production Mapping)
The Check Out step checks out the product associated with the job. A series of parameters is available to define how the checkout location is specified.
The table below outlines each step type argument and associated behavior:
Name | Description | Argument example | Behavior |
---|---|---|---|
Check Out Location (Optional) | Specifies the checkout location. Two options are available:
| Define on Job is the default; no argument specified. | On step execution, you are prompted to browse to a checkout location. |
/CheckOutLocation:C:\Data | The checkout location preset on the step type is displayed. The Update Check Out Location argument determines whether you can update this default checkout location. | ||
Update Check Out Location (Optional—Only available when default checkout location is set) | Determines whether the default checkout location may be updated on step execution. Two options are available:
| Allow Update is the default; no argument specified. | On step execution, you are presented with the checkout location preset on the step type. You can choose to update this location. |
/UpdateCheckOutLocation:False | On step execution, you are presented with the checkout location preset on the step type but cannot update this property. |
The Identify Product and Check Out steps are maintained independently to allow workflows to be defined where a manager might assign a product to technical staff. Product library permissions are therefore only validated on execution of the Check Out step.
