This option enables you to define default settings for upgrading revisions globally. These settings include revision numbering method, and revision details.
-
With any main window open, select Tools > Global Revisions.
-
On the Settings tab, from the Activity list, select Upgrade revision.
-
To change the numbering method for items that do not currently have revisions, from the Initial revision numbering method list, select one of the following numbering methods you want to start with:
-
P0 — for preliminary number sequence P0, P1, P2,...
-
0 — for number sequence 0, 1, 2,...
-
A — for number sequence A, B, C,...
The initial revision numbering method only affects items that do not have revisions.
For items that already have revisions, the software adds a new revision line using
the existing revision numbering method.
-
-
To change the numbering method for items that currently use the preliminary revision numbering method (P0, P1, P2,...), select Switch to another numbering method, and from the Continue using numbering list, select one of the following new revision numbering methods:
-
0 — for number sequence 0, 1, 2,...
-
A — for number sequence A, B, C,...
-
-
Do the following to enter the revision details:
-
In the Revised by field, enter the initials of the person performing the revision. The default is the current user's initials, if previously defined by the System Administrator.
-
In the Date field, enter the date of revision, if required.
-
Fill out the other fields as needed.
-
-
Select the appropriate module tab to apply the defined settings. For details, see Update Revisions Globally.

If you accessed the Global Revisions dialog from the main Smart Instrumentation window, tabs for multiple modules are available; if you accessed the dialog from a specific module, then only the Settings tab and the tab for that module are available.
-
If you are working in an integrated environment, then regardless of where you access this dialog from, the following tabs are disabled: Specifications, Process Data, Loops, and Dimensional Data.
