The System Menu - JoomlaPage 14 Joomla EBook is presented to you by Aim Internet. | System MenuThe System menu consists of only one element. This is a global checking-in of all content elements in process.
Global Check-In
If an entitled user calls up the editing mode of a content element, then the Global Checkin element is checked out. Only the entitled user may work on this element. During processing, other users will see a lock icon in front of the name of the element. If the document is stored after the change, it is then automatically checked in again and the lock icon disappears. If the user closes his or her browser window, or if there is a sudden break in their Internet connection, the element remains checked out and cannot be changed any more. Here the Global Check-In comes into play. By clicking this menu option, all elements in process are checked in and you receive an appropriate list of the elements: | 
| Figure 4.130: Global Check-in
| The disadvantage of global checking-in is the fact that all elements get checked in. If one person is just about to change some particular element, this element is also checked in and someone else can also make changes to it at the same time. Be careful with this function and pay attention to who is online. A good web designer will be able to help you not make this error.
