Document-managed data sheets provide a temporary view of the data in the database for a specific object. Changed data is stored in the database, but there is no revision control on the actual object in the authoring environment. If the data sheet is published, the published document that contains the data about the object is controlled through revisioning. However, that revisioning is managed in the data warehouse and has no corresponding document in the authoring environment.

To provide similar revision control in the authoring environment, you must create a data sheet document to represent the data in the database before it is published. The Create Document for IPD command creates a document object attached to the instrument, and using the snapshot feature, you can create electronic files (Excel and XML) that contain the data for the instrument at that point in time. In the future, you can create additional versions or revisions of the document with updated data.

Documents with snapshots can be published using the same workflow process as when publishing standard IPDs.
