Versions |
The vault and the clients must use the same
Workgroup PDM major version. However, the service pack levels do not have
to match. For example, you can run an SP3 version of the vault software
with a client that has SP2 installed. |
File names |
File names must be unique.
|
Project names |
Both project names and project descriptions
must be unique, although a project name and project description can be
the same. |
File storage |
Only one copy of a document is stored in the
vault, no matter how many other documents reference it. |
Revisions |
Revision numbers can only go forward. Each
revision of a document is kept in the vault. |
Ownership |
When you own a document, you can modify it and check it into the vault.
Only the owner can check a modified version of a document into the vault.
Ownership does not guarantee that you can check a document into the vault;
lifecycle status, for example, could prevent it.
Only one person can own a document at a time.
When you check a document out of the vault,
the document must have no
owner. |
