Working Simultaneously on One Application with Several Users

Because several users can work on one application at the same time, there could be conflicts when the application is saved. Therefore, system notifications inform you how to proceed.

Edit notification

If you edit an application simultaneously with one or more different users at design time, you will get a system notification telling you that there are other users editing the analytic application. This notification will also provide a link to save the application.

Save notification

If another user has already saved the application you are editing, you will get a system notification that the application has been updated by another user. Additionally, you can save a copy of the application or open the last revision.

Note

At this time, you cannot use the keyboard shortcuts for saving the application because they are disabled.

  • To save the application under a new name, click Save a Copy. This will open the dialog for saving the application under a name that you choose.

  • To open the newest version of the application, click Open Latest Revision. This will load the application that the other user has saved.

    Note

    If you have made changes to the application and click Open Latest Revision, your changes will be lost.

If you ignore this notification, or close it, you are able to continue the work on your application. You may, however, only save a copy of the application.

Disabled save menu entry

If you open the latest revision of the application, the newer version of the application will be displayed. You can continue to edit the application. The edit system notification is displayed as long as other users are editing the same application as you. You can either save the application under a new name or open another one.

The Save entry is disabled.

Note

The edit and save notifications are displayed only if you use the supported Web browsers. As of today, these are Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
