Configure the Revision Table

When the dialog first opens, the fields are empty. You can start entering your own values, load settings suggested by the system, or revert all changes to the previous settings.

• If you want to load the settings recommended by the system, click Load suggested settings .
• If you want to restore the settings that were used when the dialog was last opened, click Revert all changes .

1. On the Revision Table Settings dialog, select the Mappings tab.
2. Click on a blank field under Column Header and enter a value to create a column heading for the revision table.
3. Click on the corresponding field in the Vault Properties column and select the property that you want to map to the Column Header from the drop-down list.
   NoteThe system property 'Revision' is a key mapping and must be mapped to at least one of the column headers.
4. Select the check box in the released bias control column if you want only released values for the assigned property to display in the revision table. Clear this check box if you want the latest value for the property to display instead.
5. Repeat the last three steps for additional entries.
6. Click OK to save your settings.

When working with revisions, it is possible to have multiple versions of a drawing within one revision. You can determine whether you want the first version of the revision or the last version of the revision's data displayed in the revision table on the Content tab.

1. On the Revision Table Settings dialog, select the Content tab.
2. In the Update rows using line, select whether you want to display values for the first or last version of the revision.
3. On the next line, select whether or not you want the first or last version values for released state information.
4. Click OK to save your settings.

You can enforce how many revision rows are displayed in a revision table by enforcing a limit on the number of rows. Additionally, you can identify just how many rows you want the limit to be.

1. On the Revision Table Settings dialog, select the Content tab.
2. Select the Limit number of rows check box.
3. Identify how many rows the revision table is limited to displaying by entering a value or using the up and down arrows to change the current value.
   NoteWhen the Limit number of rows option is turned ON, the exceeding records are deleted by default. In Inventor drawings, you can also choose to hide these exceeding records instead of deleting them.
4. Click OK to save your settings.

1. On the Revision Table Settings dialog, select the Content tab.
2. Enable the Update latest revision only check box to update the mapped values only for the latest revision row within the revision table. All other mapped values in previous historical revision rows will not be updated even if the data is non-equivalent in the vault .
   NoteEven with the Update latest revision only enabled, the Vault Revision Table feature will continue to remove revision rows which are not found in the Vault.
3. Click OK to save your settings.

If you are using multiple revision schemes, you can ensure that the current revision scheme is used instead of historical revision data.

1. On the Revision Table Settings dialog, select the Content tab.
2. Select the Detect revision scheme change and remove previous revision history check box to replace historical revision rows with the current revision scheme information.
3. Click OK to save your settings.

You can control how many revision levels are shown in the revision table. For example, if you use tertiary revision levels (e.g., B.2.1), you can determine whether just the B shows, the B.2, or all three levels (B.2.1).

1. On the Revision Table Settings dialog, select the Filters tab.
2. Select check box for each revision level that you want displayed in the revision table.
3. When multiple revision levels exist within a revision group, it is necessary to identify which level of revision that you want displayed. Enable the Apply precedence rules... check box and select whether you want the highest or lowest revision levels displayed in the revision table.
   Note This selection takes precedence over the Display revision at the following levels option.
4. Click OK to save your settings.

Some users find that if the initial revision value (e.g., A) is already in the title block for the revision table, having it repeated as the first revision row is unnecessary. You can configure the revision tables to omit the first revision value and start the first row with the next revision value(e.g, A.1).

1. On the Revision Table Settings dialog, select the Filters tab.
2. Select the Omit the initial revision row check box.
3. Click OK to save your settings.
