This procedure explains how to add a revision to a single document.
-
Open or generate an SLD or a schematic drawing.
-
Select an item in the drawing.
-
Select Edit > Document Properties.
-
On the Document Properties box, select New.
-
Under Revision method, select a revision numbering method that you require for the current document.
If a document you are revising already has a revision, do not change the revision
method unless you want the software to start a new revision numbering.
-
In the Revisions group box, under Revision Numbering, accept the displayed value or type the one that you require.
-
If you type a value that does not comply with the current revision method, the next time you add a new revision, the software starts a new numbering. For example, the selected revision method is P0, P1, P2 and the last revision is P3. If you add a new revision number RRR and then another one using the P0, P1, P2 method, the software displays the newly added revision as P0.
-
If you type a value that complies with the numbering method but the value is not sequential, the software increments the number of the next revision that you add. For example, the selected revision method is P0, P1, P2 and the last revision is P3. If you add a new revision number P1, the software will increment the following revision to P2.
-
-
Type all the other pertinent information relating to the revision date, person who created and checked the revision, and so forth.
-
You can delete a selected revision by highlighting a row and selecting Delete. The software updated the revision numbers automatically if the subsequent revision number complies with the selected revision method. However, you cannot delete a revision if you are working in an integrated environment. In this case, the revisions are controlled by SmartPlant Foundation.

Using the Data Dictionary Manager, it is possible to determine which fields are available on the revision. For details, see Modify Properties of Database Tables in the Data Dictionary help.
