Shared work models are shared, read-write or read-only work models hosted on servers.
In our context, teamwork means a group of people working simultaneously on a single Modelio model. This organization is called a workgroup. In practical terms, a workgroup is most often a development team.
Shared work model enables teamwork by providing essential features such as:
-
project data sharing between users
-
centralization of work model data in a unique central repository
-
management of local copies of work model
-
work model modification and publication
-
branches and model diff/merge
The typical activity cycle on an shared work model once up and running is as follows:
-
update the model from the repository
-
modify the model
-
publish the modifications in the repository
This is a typical work cycle to which some additional management commands have been added, such as the creation of a tag or a branch.
The following figure shows a typical workgroup set-up.
In the following chapters, the following assumptions are made:
-
The server is properly configured and accessible by user workstations.
-
Each user has been provided with the following data:
-
his user name and password (noted $user and $password )
