The easiest to do is to "unregister" the user's checkouts:



cleartool descr -l vob:myVob

# get the uuid of the user's view from the description of the vob



cleartool mount myVob

cd m:mynewViewmyVob

cleartool rmview -force -uuid old_view_uuid


That will not modify anything in the user's views: the files are still being modified, but they won't be considered as checked out.

Instead, they will be "hijacked" (identified in snapshot view) or "eclipsed" (dynamic view).



The other option (put a reserved checkout as unreserved) is rarely possible, as it require access to the view as well as elevated privileges.

  • @user3437212 the view isn't unregistered: only the checkout files are: the user will have to checkout them again (again, the file themselves are not modified in any way, they just are no longer considered as checked out)

  • @user3437212 not in this case: it does not unregister the view: it only removes any reference of the view (the checkout files) from the vob where you are executing the command. The view is still there and still works.

What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

Image
0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
