Label Structures with Dates

You can use this function to date-stamp structures for accounts, forms, companies, reports, configuration and the four dimensions. By labelling the structures with dates before exporting them, you can check that the recipient sites have upgraded their structures.

Before you begin

When you import a data file, the date of the structure version is compared with the structure date in the import file. A warning message is shown if the dates of the respective structures do not correspond, after which you can select to cancel the import. However, you can also make changes in the structures without affecting the version date, this date is only created when you click on the Version Date.

Update codes determine where and in what way the structure was last updated. The codes are described in the following list:

L (Local)
The structure was last changed in the local databases.
I (Import)
Importing structure files last changed the structure.

Procedure

Select Maintain > Structure Versions.
