Status icons associated with Pulse-managed layouts

System Capture users in a multi-user Pulse environment can stay updated with the latest changes in layouts. The Pulse-managed layouts associated with a schematic are displayed in the System Capture Project Explorer, provided you have read or edit permissions for the layouts. The progress of a layout can be monitored with the help of different icons which get updated with every unique activity.

Cloud shaped icon:

A cloud icon next to a board indicates that the board file is on the Pulse server. When you create a new project from a template along with a template layout, a new design is created with its layout on Pulse. This is indicated by the cloud icon.

Green tick icon:

When you open a board, it is downloaded from the Pulse server to your local machine. This is indicated by a green tick. The green tick also indicates that the schematic and PCB are in sync.

PCB ready for schematic icon:

When a layout engineer updates a layout and commits the changes to the Pulse server, the changes are indicated by a "PCB ready for schematic" status icon. This icon lets the schematic designer know that a new version of the board is available on the Pulse server and the changes can be backannotated to the schematic.
