Abstract
Methods and systems for conveniently and quickly checking-out/checking-in and replicating a document record from/to a server instance of a document database to/from a local replica of the document database are provided. One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method for accessing a document record stored in a server document database system from a client system, comprising: receiving user selection of a document record from a replica database in the client system; querying the server document database system for the document record; determining whether the document record is available for check-out from the server document database system; and if the document record is available for check-out, replicating the document record to the replica database in the client system.
