Displays and sets properties for revisions. The Revision tab is always read-write (subject to user permissions).
Action
Specifies the available actions when accessing Properties on a single component, multiple components, or multiple documents.
Append Record
Creates a new revision record for each document under the selected components or in the document set. You can type a value for the next revision mark or let the software automatically increment it for you.
Edit Last Record
Edits the last revision for each document under the selected components or in the document set. Only the edited revision fields overwrite the corresponding fields on the last revision record. To clear a populated revision field, type a single space character, and no other characters, in the edited field.
The Append Record and Edit Last Record options are not available when you are revising a single document.
Revision Mark
Specifies the current revision. For single documents, double-click the New Record cell to automatically increment to the next revision mark number. To manually type a value for the next revision mark, click the New Record cell and type the value. This only applies when the model has not been registered with SmartPlant Foundation. If this cell is not edited, then the revision mark number automatically increments to the next available number in each writeable document associated to the selected set.

The appearance and behavior of the contents of this tab differ depending on whether properties are accessed on a single document or accessed on a single component, multiple components, or multiple documents. You can add your own custom revision properties to your drawings by bulkloading the Sample Custom Revision Properties for Bulkload.xls workbook into your database. This workbook is available on the PPM Smart Community site. The properties will then display in this table. See Sample Custom Revision Properties for Bulkload Workbook and Place a custom revision property on a border.
The contents of this tab also depend on whether the model is registered to SmartPlant Foundation.
Unregistered
If you access Properties on a single document and your model has not been registered to SmartPlant Foundation, the Revision tab displays previous entries made. A new row is available to make a new entry. You can edit each field using alphanumeric and special characters.
If you access Properties on a single component, multiple components, or multiple documents and your model has not been registered to SmartPlant Foundation, the Revision tab has a single blank row for a new or edited entry. All fields are editable. Their values are propagated to the writeable documents that are associated with the selected set.
Registered
If your model has been registered to SmartPlant Foundation, use the Revise command to create revision numbers. This command reserves a revision number by adding it to the document Revision properties. The revision number is added in the form of a blank row on the Revision tab of the Properties dialog.
After reserving the revision number, right-click the document and select Properties. Go to the Revision tab and edit the Revision fields. All fields except for Revision Mark and Revision Minor Number are editable. See Revising.
