Workflow configuration for the Check Out custom step

Available with Production Mapping license.

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:

Arguments for the Check Out step

Name	Description	Argument example	Behavior
Check Out Location (Optional)	Specifies the checkout location. Two options are available: Define on Job (Default) Path to Check Out Location (folder)	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 (Default) Do Not Allow Update	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.

Note:

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.
