Incrementing Revisions

A file that reaches a certain state (for example, an assembly is approved for manufacturing) can be assigned a new revision number. The revision can be incremented either manually or automatically as part of the workflow.

To increment revisions manually:

  • You must have appropriate permissions.
  • The file cannot be checked out.
  • A revision scheme must be defined for the current state of the file.

To increment a revision number:

  1. Select the file and click Modify > Increment Revision.
  2. In the Increment Revision dialog box, verify that the revision number can be incremented.

    If OK is not displayed in the Result column, a message explains the problem (lack of access rights, for example). The administrator must give you rights to increment revisions for the file at its current state in the workflow.

  3. Select one of more files to transition, and set column values as needed.
  4. Click OK to increment the revision.
  5. To verify the new revision number, select the file and click Display > History.
