How does Cascade Server support Multiple Users?
• Cascade Server allows many users to access the system at any given time. To avoid duplicate versions of content, only one user at a time is allowed to edit a given asset. Assets are automatically checked out when edits are made, and will remain checked out until the appropriate workflow has been completed. Content is checked out manually by a user upon clicking the checkout link, and will remain checked out until checked back in by the original user, or the lock is broken by an administrator. Other users are shown which user has checked out the asset, and are given the option to send a message requesting that it be checked back in. When an asset is in a workflow process, it is automatically checked out to the appropriate user for each step, and cannot be edited before that user had taken the appropriate action.
