To Reorder Document Revisions

If the Revision management option is available in the Object menu, you can reorder the revision history of the document.

Revisions are reordered based on their position in the grid, where older revisions are at the top and newer revisions are at the bottom. Once the reordering is complete, AssetWise will change the Document statuses to reflect the order you want and set the appropriate revisions to Draft, Current, or Historic based on their position in the grid.

The Revision Management link appears in the Object menu if the current revision complies with all of the following rules:
  • The user has Modified Approved Documents permission
  • The user has permission to modify document revision
  • Document revision is not change controlled
  • Document revision is not under change
  • Document revision is not in an active workflow.
When the Revision management option is selected, all other revisions in the stack will be verified for compliance, and if any revision does not meet all rules, a message appears stating that revision management is not supported for the entire document revision stack. For example,
