Change Item Revision (Vault 2015 Only)

Perform a revision bump on an item in Vault 2015.

Note: This topic applies to Vault 2015 only. See Revise a Single File or Item for Vault 2015 R2.

A revision indicates a milestone in the manufacturing process of an item and signifies a point in time in the history of the lifecycle of the item.

When an item is created, an initial revision is created represented by a dash (-). After that, an item revision increments according to the format specified in the Choose Next Revision dialog box. The revision sequence is determined by the Administrator in the Vault Settings dialog.

The Revision History tab in an item record displays all revision numbers of an item and its relevant attributes.

If an item in the Released state is added to a change order and the Change Order Requestor Allows Edit, the item's state changes to Work in Progress and a new revision is automatically created, unless the bump revision action is set to None in the Lifecylce Rules dialog box.
