Check In Content Dialog (Check In With Metadata)

The Check In Content dialog is used to check an existing content item that is open in Microsoft Office file back in to an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance (as a new revision). It enables you to modify the metadata of the file before checking it in to the server.

Element Description

Check-in form

This is the standard content check-in form on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance, where you assign metadata to the item before checking it in to the server. You can use the Reset button at the bottom of the form to revert the form to its initial state (that is, remove any data that you entered on the form).

You cannot change the content ID, since this is an existing item on the content server that already has a content ID assigned to it.

If you want the content item to show up in a content folder on the server, make sure that you specify the location in the Folder field.

If you change the security group, you may change the availability of the content item to other users. (A content item is available only to users who have access privileges to the security group that item is assigned to.)

All mandatory metadata fields are marked with an asterisk (*). The item cannot be checked in if any of these fields is empty.

Reopen after check-in

Select this check box if you want to reopen the current file after it has been checked in. The file will be checked out and opened for you to use.

Check in and approve

Select this check box to approve the document as it is checked in. If you do not choose this option, the document will be checked in but you will have to approve it afterwards (for example by selecting Approve from the document's context menu in Windows Explorer).

This option is available if all of the following are true:

  • the document is in a workflow

  • you have the right to review and edit the document

  • the document does not require an electronic signature

Submit document for workflow review

Select this check box to advance the document to the next step in the workflow after it is checked in. If you do not choose this option, the document will be checked in but will remain in the current workflow step.

This option is available if all of the following are true:

  • the document is in a workflow

  • you do not have the right to edit the document

  • the document does not require an electronic signature
