Custom revision values can be set for each stage on any given stage list to suit your company's process and/or your customer's requirements. This custom value will define the first revision number, with subsequent revision numbers being set manually by users.
Set custom revision value
Setting a custom revision value can be done in the stage editing form (at the time of creation) or directly in the grid (after the stage has been created). To edit in the grid, do the following:
1. Click on the "Reset Rev #" box (directly in the grid) for the appropriate stage and choose "Reset to Custom Value."
2. Type the revision number value in the “Custom Value” column.
3. Once the custom revision values are set, click "Save" (bottom right).
Example:
The following stage abbreviations, names, and revision formats are requested by the customer:
- Issued for Approval (IFA) - A1 (A2, A3...)
- Issued for Construction (IFC) - B1 (B2, B3...)
- Issued as Built (IAB) - 01 (02, 03...)
The document will begin in stage "IFA" with "A1" as the first revision number. Once stage “IFA” is completed, stage “IFC” will begin with "B1" as the first revision number. Once stage “IFC” is completed, Stage “IAB” will begin with "01" as the first revision number.
