To create a revision for a document, locate it and select it in the list of records of the second quadrant of the main screen. After that, click on the toolbar button. To edit a revision, select the document in the list of records on the main screen and click on the button.
In order to be able to create a revision for the document, it is necessary to meet the following conditions:
▪The revision control must be properly configured in the category of the document; ▪The logged user must have the "Revise" control allowed in document security. ▪The latest revision of the document must be closed. |
▪Note that the upper bar will display buttons related to the revision execution such as those to send the revision to the next step or return it to the previous step. ▪If the "Enable released documents to be edited" general parameter is unchecked, the system must allow editing the document data only if the revision status is draft, for ISO9000 based revisions, or if the "Edit metadata" option is checked, for the Workflow revision status. ▪By creating a new revision, if the current revision has a translation, it will be copied. |
The revision screen is the same as the document data screen, to facilitate the revision. This section will describe the essential fields for the revision, but it is possible to find a detailed description for all fields in the Edit document section. On the screen that will be opened, the ID #, Title, Category, and Language fields will be filled out with the respective information of the document.
Note: If the document being revised has a complementary document structure and the "Notify structure revision" option has been checked in the Revision tab of the general parameters, when the revision data is saved for the first time, the system will ask the user which documents of the structure will also be revised. After clicking on OK, the Revision acknowledgment task will be generated to those responsible for the revision of the documents that compose the structure of this particular document.
General data
This section will display the document data entered during its creation, which can be edited. The document ID #, title, author, responsible, validity and summary may be edited according to the configurations made in the category. It also possible to switch the category of the document. To obtain a detailed description of the displayed fields, view the Adding a new document section.
It is possible to add a future date to the revision. Thus, the revision will only be released on the day defined in the revision creation. Before the date is reached, the revision will be under the Closure status.
When the user transfers a document from one category to another, they should keep in mind:
▪The system allows you to transfer documents that are configured to be stored in a database to a controlled directory and vice versa, regardless of the situation they are in. ▪If a record schedule has been configured for the source category, when the user transfers the document to another category that has a different record schedule and such record schedule has not been configured with the same steps, the document will return to the previous step, configured in the record schedule of the category where it will be transferred. ▪For categories with Revision and Physical record controls, the user cannot transfer the documents to other categories that do not have the same configurations of the source categories. |
Attributes
This section will only be displayed if at least one attribute is associated in the Attribute tab of the document category. If the document was created using the wizard, the attributes may be displayed already filled out, but it will be possible to edit them. The way to fill in an attribute varies according to the configurations established when creating it. Note that the blocked attributes will not be available for editing.
▪If the document has an electronic file with a docvariable that uses the value of an attribute and this value is edited in this section, after saving the record, the system will send the file to the conversion queue to pdf, so it can be converted again. ▪If a watermark that uses the value of an attribute is applied to the document and this value is edited in this section, after saving the record, the updated value will be displayed in the watermark when printing it. |
Keyword
In this section, it is possible to associate keywords with the document. If keywords were associated with the document during the addition, they will be displayed.
To associate keywords with the document, in the available field, type the name of the desired keyword and press Enter on the keyboard or use the button to select it. Associate all desired keywords. Use the other buttons next to the field to add a new keyword and associate it with the document.
As the keywords are associated, they will be displayed in the area just below the field. To disassociate a keyword from the document, hover the mouse on the word and click on the Close option. To disassociate all document keywords, click on the button, placed next to the Keyword field.
