About the workgroup site window

When you open a workgroup site in the site window, the title bar shows the site name and the Workgroup Server name and port in parentheses. The Locked column in the site window displays information about the current lock state of the files.

• Checked In status has no icon. The file can be checked out for editing.
• Checked out exclusive status, indicated by a pencil icon , applies to files you've checked out yourself. You can immediately open and edit files checked out to you. As long as the file is checked out to you, other users have read-only access.
• Checked out by Someone Else status is indicated by the padlock icon . You have read-access only to files checked out by another member of the workgroup. If a file is checked out, you should periodically refresh the site window (Site > Refresh View, or click the Refresh View button on the toolbar) to see whether the file has been checked in again. (See Refreshing the site view.)

The workgroup site window also adds two columns to the right of the Status column: Completed, and To be edited. You can add information to these two columns using the Workflow palette, accessible from the Window menu. You can use these fields to inform other workgroup users how much work or what type of editing is needed on a particular file.
