Rollback Revision Increment

Rollback Revision Increment

Hi,

 

If a user accidently makes a change state of a model from Released to Work In Progress, it will increment the revision, and then leave us with no way to go back to the previous revision.  I understand why you would do this, as we shouldn't be going backwards with Revisions, so I don't believe every user should have access to this functionality, but an Administrator should be able to override the Revision if they determined there was a mistake made and we need to go backwards.

 

Thanks,

With your file selected, go to Actions > Rollback Lifecycle State Change

Was actually referring to roll back of revisions. Though I realize this is in the "Lifecyle" category.

Well since your revision is likely bumping because of your lifecycle state change (e.g. From Released to WIP, bump revision +1), by rolling back the lifecycle you will get back to your previous revision value.

Hi,

please take a look on the Vault 2016 help to get more details regarding State/ Revision Rollback capabilty:

In the future that would be the option we would use. However currently we are moving into pro and moving all our existing parts/drawings into lifecyles.

 

Many of them have revisions already so in the process of moving stuff over accidents happen. While writing our revision back to the vault controlled rev, unintentional changes happen (Human error, only 1 so far, which brought me here), all while still in the design state so there is no previous lifecyle to roll back too.

 

Through lack of foresight (Or lack of knowledge) we opted to bring everything in at the base state and move it into our custom category/lifecyles at our leisure, so the history often goes....

 

(Basic example)

version 1 - rev 0 - base/no lifecycle

version 2 - rev 0 - custom cat./design

version 3 - rev 4 - custom cat./design (oops wrong rev)

and that's where I'm stuck 😞

I know this is an OLD post but this would be super useful to have as I have new users that are running into this issue still and need to set the REV level to be the previous level. We are very close to pulling out the entire Vault revision table and tracking it manually as this issue is not being fixed or documented in a way that is easy to find the solution.

 

To copy from @JediDreams post above this is a great way to explain the issue.

(Basic example)

version 1 - rev 0 - base/no lifecycle

version 2 - rev 0 - custom cat./design

version 3 - rev 4 - custom cat./design (oops wrong rev)

and that's where I'm stuck also.
