Manage Job Program Revision

Explanation

Use this activity to create a new job program revision.

A job program with status Preliminary can be updated but once this status is changed to Active, the job program is locked from editing. Two options exist when this restrictions exist and both enables any changes on the job program:

Disable/enable revision control could initially be set on per Site. All new job programs will then inherit this setting, e.g. default disabled, if the site is configured to have revision control disabled for job programs. The inherited revision control setting from the site could also be individually changed on per job program with a right-mouse option.

Create New Revision for Job Program

Procedure

  1. Open the Job Program window, and query for the job program for which you want to create the revision. (Alternatively, you can directly query for the revision itself.)
  2. Right-click on the header of the window and then click Create New Revision. The Create New Revision for Job Program dialog box opens.
  3. Enter an ID for the new revision in the New Revision field.
  4. Click OK.

In order to do any changes on an active job program you need to either create a new revision, as described above or disable revision control. This is how you disable revision control:

  1. Open the Job Program window, and query for a job program with status Active.
  2. Right-click on the header window and then click Disable Revision Control. This removes the check in check box Job Revision Control and you are now allowed to do any changes.
  3. Right-click again and select Enable Revision Control and it's back to it's original setting where changes are not allowed.
