Creating an interlock folder filter

An interlock folder filter restricts the specific folder types, out of all possible folder types, to which the interlock should apply. Since the project definition of every sub-project has a folder type assigned to it, by specifying certain folder types, the filter also restricts the sub-project to which the interlock should apply.

To create an interlock folder filter:

1. Select the project definition in the left pane of Meridian Enterprise Configurator.
2. Click the Edit button to enable modification of the project definition.
3. Click the Interlocks tab. The list of current interlocks appears in the right pane.
4. Select the project workflow interlock you want to edit and click the Edit button. The Properties dialog of the interlock appears.

5. Click the Folders tab. The list of available folder types appears as shown in the following figure.

   Note    If the interlock does not have a Folders tab, but Document Type Filters and Logical Scope tabs instead, you have selected a document type interlock. See Creating a document workflow interlock,

6. Select the folder types used by sub-projects that you want to interlock with this project definition. Clear the folder types that you do not want to interlock.
7. Click OK to close the dialog.
8. Click the OK button on the Interlocks tab to save your changes.

This completes the configuration of an interlock folder filter for a project definition. You can now continue to configure the interlock in any of the following topics.
