This window presents additional information about the checkout and prompts you to make a choice based on that information.
The following situations may occur:
In a snapshot view, the version loaded in your view is not the latest version on the branch for either of these reasons:
In a dynamic view, the version-selection rules in your config spec do not select the latest version on the branch. This can occur if the config spec selects versions based on a time rule, a specific label, a specific version, or some other criterion.
There is already a reserved checkout on the branch, and there can be only one reserved checkout at a time.
You are working in a replicated VOB. This replica (your current replica) does not master the branch involved in the checkout.
To work on the version immediately, you must check it out unreserved and nonmastered. Before you can check in your work, you must request mastership of the branch. You may need to merge your work.
If you do not need to work on the version immediately, you can request mastership of the branch and then check out the version reserved after the mastership change is imported at your current replica. With this method, you do not need to merge your work.
