You can use the version attribute to track the different
versions of an element. This attribute consists of a set of numbers
or characters that automatically increase based on changes in other
attributes.
The version attribute can be one of three levels:
- Major: Affects the first number or string; for example, 1.0 or
A
- Minor: Affects the second number; for example, 1.1 or PA1
- Patch: Affects the third number; for example, 1.1.1 or PA1.1
The version attribute can be automatically updated when changes
are made to other attributes, such as ID, Title, or Status.
Increasing the version
You
can manually increase a version only to increase it to the next Major
level. To increase a version attribute
manually:
- Double-click the version attribute or click Edit (
).
- Select or clear Next Major Version.
- Click
.
Rolling back a version
To roll back to a previous
version of an element:
- Click the version attribute.
- In the pop-up window, click Rollback. The
selected version overwrites the current version, and the attributes
are rolled back to their previous values.
Notes: - The version number cannot be rolled back, but can increase to
the next level (the highest level that is set in the attribute setup
for the version attribute).
- The attributes that are marked with the Information icon cannot
be rolled back.
- To compare the selected version to another version, from the list,
select the version to compare to. A window that shows the differences
between the two versions is displayed.
