Revising a document

Top  Previous  Top  Next

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.
