Rule checkout

A checkout is a private copy of a Rule- instance that you update and later check in to replace a base rule version. All checked out rules reside in a ruleset that is only visible to your operator known as your personal ruleset.

Two types of checkouts are supported:

Standard checkout — All other users are blocked from checking out this rule until you check in your changes.
Private checkout— A private checkout is like a standard checkout, except it does not block checkouts for other users. This option is good for quick debugging without interrupting development by other team members.

Before you start, verify that your operator allows rule checkout and the rule resides in a ruleset with checkout enabled.

The Private edit option is available when your operator has the pxAllowPrivateCheckout privilege. A private checkout is like a standard checkout except it does not block checkouts for other users. This option is good for quick debugging without interrupting development by other team members.
