This option allows you to perform a number of revision activities for a group of selected documents.  You can add, update, upgrade, and delete revisions in batch mode. 

  1. In the list view of the Electrical Index, select the documents that you require.

  2. Click Actions > Global Revisions.

  3. From the Activity list, select an activity to perform with a global revision:

    • Add revision - adds a new revision to the selected documents in accordance with the value that you specify for the Revision number setting.  The software determines which revision method suits best the value that you typed in the Revision number field and adjusts the revision method accordingly.  If the revision number value that you are adding conforms with method of the last existing revision, the software will continue to number the new revision accordingly.  If the software cannot determine a suitable revision method for the typed value, the revision method will switch to Other.

    if you do not enter a value in the Revision number field, the software displays an error message.

    • Upgrade revision - adds a new revision by raising the last revision number of all the selected documents.  The software identifies the revision numbering method of each document (P0, P1, P2; 0,1,2, A,B,C, and so forth) and raises the revision number to the next value according to the existing revision method.  You cannot change the revision method but you can update all the other settings by entering new settings.

    • Delete last revision - deletes the last revision of all the selected documents.

    • Delete all revisions - deletes all the revisions of all the selected documents.

    • Re-archive last revision - re-archives changes made to the selected documents under their last archived revision. In this case, the software does not create a new revision and preserves the existing revision method for each document.

  4. From Revision method for items without revisions, select a revision method if some of the selected documents have not been revised yet.

  5. Edit the settings as you require.

The software archives all the added and upgraded revisions of the selected documents so that you can compare the data of an archived document with the current version.  For more information, see Compare an Archived Document with a Current Document.
