Version administration

The Version widget provides a list of draft and approved versions. For each of the versions, the latest date & time and name of the author who changed the version are displayed.

These instructions explain individual steps in version management:

  • To create the first draft, create and save a new mapping.
  • To edit the current draft, open and modify the mapping. Then save the changes.
    • When a draft version has unsaved changes, an indicator, a yellow triangle, is displayed on the draft version in the version list of the mapping.

  • To approve the current draft, click the check mark in its line in the Versions widget. You can also approve single or multiple mappings from the Mapper overview page.
    • If the draft has unsaved changes, you are prompted to save the changes before proceeding with the approval of the draft.
  • To edit an approved version, click the pencil icon. A new draft is created. The version number that is assigned to the draft is incremented from the latest approved version number, existing or already deleted. Each version number is unique.
  • To delete an approved version, click the bin icon. You can delete only an inactive approved version. To verify whether the version is inactive, check the active/inactive identifier above the widget. The system always requires that at least one draft or one approved version exists.
  • For activation of an approved version of a mapping, the respective mapping must be saved properly.
