The options on this tab enables you to view, modify, or delete in batch mode global revisions in all the appropriate modules.

You use these options at the first stage in maintaining revisions globally. First, you select a revision activity. After that you enter the appropriate revision data, and select the default revision numbering method, or switch to another revision method, and so forth. You can add a new revision without examining the existing revision settings, update existing revisions by modifying revision values, upgrade the current revision by adding a new revision line, delete selected revisions, or delete the last revision.

Then, at the second stage, you apply these settings per module, on the module tabs of the Global Revision dialog.
