Definition Properties

• Checked Out Status: This field displays the status of the definition: either Checked Out or Checked In. You must check out the definition to modify Table Descriptors, Source Code, Parameters, or Planned Outputs. However, you can change Table Descriptor mappings without checking out the definition. See Understanding Object Versions and Checkin/Checkout for further information.
• Latest Version: If set to Yes, this Program instance is pointing to the latest version of the Program definition. If set to No, this Program instance is pointing to an older version of the Program definition.
• View Latest: You can see this button only if the current Program instance does not point to the latest definition version. Click this button to view the latest Program definition.
• Upgrade to Latest: This button is grayed out if the current Program instance already points to the latest Program definition. Click this button to upgrade the current Program instance to the latest definition version. For more information on upgrading instances, see Upgrading Object Instances to a New Definition Version.
• Checked Out By: This field displays the username of the person who has the Program definition checked out. See Understanding Object Versions and Checkin/Checkout for further information.
