New Item Revision
This section describes how to create a new revision of a item, and the action launched when a new revision of a item becomes active.
The following rules apply when creating a new item revision.
- The New Item Revision operation is executed on a single object only.
- The New Item Revision operation is only available for an Active item that is not marked as 'Under Change'.
- The New Item Revision operation generates a new revision of the item (in memory) and displays a profile card with all item details copied from the previous active version. The user modifies the attributes according to the change. After clicking OK
, the object is created and SmarTeam shows tree view of the next revision.
- The new version of the item retains all the attributes of the previous active version, except for the following attributes:
- Status attribute: Set to the default state defined for class.
- The previous active version will be marked as 'Under Change'.
- SmarTeam - Web Editor enables the administrator to define whether to copy objects of a specific link type to the newly created revision. This is done in the Preferences option.
