Manage Claims

If a database has been set to Explicit Claim mode (see the Administrator User Guide for further information), before elements can be edited or have their status changed they must first be claimed by the user to a Local Claim.

If the database is set to Explicit Claim mode and is also Extract database, they must also be claimed to an Extract Claim after being claimed to a Local Claim.

If an attempt is made to edit or change the status of an element that must be claimed either locally or to an extract, the edit/status change will fail. A message will be issued explaining why (see Messages and the Message Log for further information).

Data Management facilities in the Tags Module enable users to:

• View the current local and extract claim state of elements in a list.

• See View Local Claim State of Elements and View Extract Claim State of Elements.

• Claim and release elements from a local claim.

• See Claim Elements to Local Claims and Release Elements from Local Claims.

• Claim, release, flush, issue and drop elements from an extract claim.

• See Claim Elements to Extract Claims, Release Claimed Elements from Extract Claims, Refresh Extracts, Flush Extracts, Issue Extracts and Drop Extracts.

For further details of Extracts, Claims and related concepts and procedures, see the Administrator User Guide.
