Updating client project defaults

From time to time new or updated component standards will become available in the MDS catalogue. Where users are maintaining their own application defaults databases, these changes will not be immediately available because they need to be added to the database.

A new upgrade tool allows the MDS administrator to update existing standards or add new ones. This is useful for users upgrading from a previous version of a project or continuing work on a project that uses a copy of a previous version’s MDS/APPDEFAULTS database.

The ‘Check MDS Application Defaults’ tool is a new feature in the Utilities menu of the Paragon module and is available to administrators who belong to team ‘CATADMIN’. For details, please see the Multi-Discipline Supports Administrator Guide.
