I'm assuming you are talking about Intralink by the terminology you are using even though this thread started out as windchill/pdmlink.
In any Intralink window, select INTRALINK, PREFERENCES, select the CHECKOUT tab, onthe right hand side, click the boxes
"with checkin authorization" and change the pulldown below it to read only. Do the same for "without checkin authorization".
Hit OK and you are set.
I you are talking about windchill/pdmlink, please excuse my interruption.

"It would be great if Windchill worked like Intralink." Exactly!
I found the setting above "without checkin authorization" to be extremely helpful, especially with library parts. I hadmy previous company's admin push that setting out globally and it worked great. It preventedthe systemfrom even thinkinganything was changed in the first place and eased check-in tremendously, and didn't require you have to manually lock everything upon check-out. we were going to start restricting certain project folders to read-only tooin order to really take advantage of this. Ugh! What a hassle it is now that we've "upgraded". I wish either of the companies I worked for that changed hadn't...........is there a way back?

We're talking about Windchill. We're still on 8.0 M030 here.
It would be great if Windchill worked like Intralink.

The new Windchill/Pdmlink 9.1 is having some of the intralink
functionally being brought back in. Adjustable columns, multiple column
sorts. It was discussed in our Pro user meeting here in St. Louis.
