Is anyone familar with how to date and time stamp a diagram. Since I am publishing new versions of SA diagrams on a regular basis, it would be very useful to date stamp all diagrams from the publish (in a descreet manner).

Thanks,
Richard

We always put a Doc Block on all our diagrams in SA which gives a timestamp. Note of caution though - if someone opens a diagram that is not frozen and they are not in read only mode, then the date will change even if no changes are actually made

We put a version number in the doc block as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't like the Doc Block solution as we have several architects working on the Encyclopedia and often times they open and close them without any real changes. In the end, I created a new symbol (just a text block) with a single defintion - and place it on all maps. I change jsut the definition (version1.1.1 2006-09-23) when I publish and all maps show the Version and Date in a discreet manner - small text under the Process Map area.

Not an ideal solution but atleast it shows which version is valid for the release. A manual audit could then be carried out against the audit report (made after each session) and against older map versions (as they now are dated!) and the release notes.

Any best practices out there on Configuration Management with SA publishing? I'm all ears.
