The document revision process makes it possible to revise a document within the tool and in SmartPlant Foundation and save the revision values to the tool database without re-publishing the document.

When using SmartPlant Foundation revisions, depending on the revision scheme selected, you can set minor as well as major revisions.

To select between the option of managing major and minor revisions from the tool or from SmartPlant Foundation, edit the field for "Revision management software for publishing documents" in Options Manager.

You can revise a document by using any previous revisions that are available from the last published revision, skip revision numbers, change the revision scheme, and manually add a revision number. Then have it validated against the revision Scheme. Be aware that the Scheme does not support minor revisions for all types of revision schemes. For a revision scheme that allows minor revisions, you can add a minor revision to a document that already has a major revision defined or add a minor revision to a newly created major revision.

You edit the revision within the tool using the Revisions Tab, in Document Properties. The format for minor and major revisions is determined by the selection made from the Revision Scheme list, which is editable in the common UI, Revise dialog. Once selected, both minor and major revision are displayed together in the same properties field, as well as in the tool’s database. The minor revision is incremented automatically as you make changes to the document. Once you apply a new major revision, the numbering of the minor revision restarts.

The sequence of the combined major and minor revision must be unique throughout the entire plant. When the software identifies a non-unique revision sequence, a message requesting to replace the sequence is generated.

Example:

You revise a new document in the tool using the major revision scheme Rev A (A, B, C, D…) and select to start with revision C, then SmartPlant Foundation reserves revision number C for the document. In the tool you can still revise with any previous revision value, such as A or B. However, if the document is published to SmartPlant Foundation with revision number C, you are not allowed to go back to the previous revision numbers. The minor Revision Scheme can either be numerical or alphabetical.

The following table contains the major and minor revision numbers based on the document Revision Scheme of RevA01, in SmartPlant Foundation:
