How to prevent the confliction between the team workspace and indivisual workspace

“I believe there is a possibility of conflicts arising between team workspaces and personal workspaces while editing simultaneously. How does the Windchill system provide warnings for conflicts? And how does it prevent conflicts proactively?”   Please let me know the real case by using latest Windchill version, if possible?

The "team" area as your friend describes to you is the "commonspace." Only one person at a time can have an item "checked out." if that is the case, an icon will indicate this, and anyone else will be prevented from checking the item out. Items can be modified locally without checking them out.

There is no "Team" workspace. There is the workspace (local cache- items modified locally but not uploaded to the server, server side cache - items modified locally and uploaded to the server) and commonspace (items uploaded and checked into the server).

 

If someone intends to make changes, they can "check out" the CAD and or WTParts into the workspace, and others will see it is checked out by that person for modification

Dear support team,

Very appreciated for your reply. I understood your explanation,thanks.

However, one of my friends told me as follows;
“In Windchill, there are two workspaces: one is the local area (for individual use), and the other is the server area (for team use).
My friend has extensive experience with Windchill implementation, so I have no choice but to trust his explanation.
Until now, I understood the workflow as a simple process: check out an object, download it to the workspace,
and upload it to the common space after completing the work.

Is it true that there are actually two workspaces inside Windchill?” Please let me know more detailed information.

Regards.
