To allow an Administrator or a user, to see which elements are reserved and by whom, a Reserved List is available when a Model is selected. This list shows elements that have been reserved within the model, the type of element, and the name of the user (or the system) that has reserved it.
By selecting an element in this list, you can unreserve or remove the reservation on the element. The Unreserve operation is performed on elements that are not under source control and the Remove Reservation operation is performed on elements that are under source control.
The unreserve operation can be carried out by the current user who has reserved the element, or by an Administrator who can unreserve elements reserved by any user. The remove reservation operation can be performed by the administrators only.

From the Class View window, select a Model.
