Revisions

Overview

Each database item can contain an unlimited number of revisions. Each data set stored with an item is separate for each revision.

You can always return to a prior revision to view/edit the data set at that rev level.

To up-rev any item:

• Create a new Revision on the Revisions page of the item
• Up-rev the item under Change/ECO (Affected Item page)

The General Information Page contains a Rev Label text box that displays the rev currently being viewed.

Note: Each revision can contain Effective dates.

The Item Banner contains a drop list that displays the current and all prior revisions.

Changing the selection in this list will automatically update the data pages with the data from that revision.

Revision Page

The Revisions page of the Item form will display all revisions.

Each revision can contain:

Field	Description
Rev	The revision name/label
Effective On	The date the revision will become effective
Effective To	The date until which the revision will be effective
Date/Time	The date and time the revision was created in the system
Description	Description of the revision

Selecting the Revision label hyperlink will activate that revision in the Item form.
