Checking Out / Checking In / Undoing a Check Out

Throughout the Sigmafine Database you will encounter check marks as shown in the figure below.Figure 91: Check In - check mark indicator

The check marks indicate changes that are made in the database. Changes that you make to an object need to be saved in the database. Unsaved changes that are not applied are indicated by a red check mark icon. Changes that have been applied, but not saved to the database are indicated by a dark red check mark icon: The following figure illustrates the use of these icons.Figure 92: Check In - check mark color representations
