Working with versions

Functions such as viewing, selecting, copying, and setting default versions are consistent for various tasks and resources.

Common UI functions such as deleting a version and filtering a version list are also available.

Restriction: Versions are not available for control numbers.
About default versions: The default version of a resource is used at run time. The most recent version of a resource is the default, with the following exceptions:
  • When the default is reset manually
  • When the Resource Manager Import function is used and the Keep default version option is selected

Task Procedure

The default version is shown in bold type. Version numbers and the creation date are displayed. Information such as description, comments, and which user created the version might also be available.
Select a version Click a field to highlight the row for the version that you want to select.
Tip: Click a field other than the Version field. Clicking the Version field opens a properties page instead of highlighting the row.
Clone and edit a version

    The version record that you selected is displayed as a new version.
Set a default version Highlight the row for the version you want to set as the default, and click Default.
Tip: Reset the default manually after you import a new version of a resource, if wanted. Otherwise, the new version becomes the default.
