When the e-mail with the request to open the model variant and to apply the master model changes arrives, variant owners can start the roll-out resolution by opening their model variant.
Open the model variant. Next to the model name, it is displayed that a new master exists for the variant. Icons show the places in the model variant where the model variant differs from the master model. The Master roll-out bar opens automatically. The bar lists the changes made to the master model since the last update of the model variant based on the master model. The first change is displayed in the Master roll-out bar. If a change has subordinate changes, Details is displayed. The number of all changes is displayed graphically at the bottom of the Master roll-out bar.
If you want to display the preview master and/or the current master, enable the Old master and/or the New master check boxes at the bottom of the Master roll-out bar.
Click Accept or Reject to accept or reject the current change including its subordinated changes, if any.
If you want to accept or reject subordinated changes individually, click Details and Accept or
Reject the respective change. The changes are applied to the model if there are no conflicts.
If there are conflicts or warnings, click Conflicts/Warnings to open the descriptions.
Display variant changes by clicking Related variant changes if the conflicts or warnings are caused by changes in the model variant that were made after the last roll-out cycle was finished. For example, an object may have been deleted in the model variant that was changed in the master model. The Variant changes dialog opens, the warning or conflict is described, and the variant version created in the last roll-out cycle and the current variant are displayed side by side. Click Close to exit the Variant changes dialog.
At the bottom of the Master roll-out bar, click Next change.
Choose whether the next change should be applied to the model variant. You can click
Undo to undo your choices. If you click
Undo several times, your choices will be undone in reverse order.
Click Finish after you have made all your choices.
The master model owner is notified by email that the roll-out for your model variant
is completed.
The model changes are saved and a new version of the model variant is created.
