| Column Name | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rev | The revision of the model version. | ||||||
| Derivation Cue | Shows  for branches. This column is blank for revisions and the root model version. | ||||||
| Latest Cue | Shows Shows | ||||||
| Name | The name of the model version. Click to open the model version. | ||||||
| Tags | The tags assigned to this derivation or branch. | ||||||
 | The icon indicates that an active engineering change is associated with the model version. | ||||||
 | Shows the primary image for the model version, if defined. Click to open the Images page, where you can view all images for the model version. See Images Page. | ||||||
| Derivation Type | A model version can only have one model version of derivation type revision, and there can be a chain of such revisions. A model version can have many model versions of derivation type Branch.
| ||||||
| Derived From | The model version from which this model version was either revised or branched. That is, the parent of this model version. | ||||||
| Merged From | The revisions of the model version that have been merged together to create the model version in the name column. | ||||||
| Derivation Level | The root model version is always the top level for that model version. For a hardware or service product:
For a software product:
| ||||||
| Marketing Name | The marketing name of the model version. | ||||||
| Type | The type of model version. | ||||||
| Description | The detailed description of the model version. | ||||||
| Start Effectivity | The date on which the model version's effectivity begins or the date from which the model version is available for configuration sessions. | ||||||
| End Effectivity | The date on which the model version's effectivity ends or the date up to which the model version is available for configuration sessions. | ||||||
| Governing Project | The project created in Project Management used to govern the model version. This column is blank if Project Management is not installed. | ||||||
| Current Phase | The current milestone, phase or tollgate the project is in, which is the first top-level task that is not in the Complete state. This column is blank if Project Management is not installed. | ||||||
| Phase Completion | The estimated completion date of the current phase of the governing project. This column is blank if Project Management is not installed. | ||||||
| Design Responsibility | The company or business unit that has design responsibility for the model version. | ||||||
| DSFA Selector | The branch and version qualifier for the model version on the DesignSync server. | ||||||
| State | The current lifecycle state of the model version. | ||||||
| Owner | The person responsible for the model version. | ||||||

| Action | Description | For More Information |
|---|---|---|
| Create Derivation | Creates a new branch of this model version. | Creating a Model Version Revision or Derivation Branch |
| Create Revision | Revises the selected model version. You can only revise a model version if no other revisions for that model version exist. | Creating a Model Version Revision or Derivation Branch |
| Insert Before | Inserts a derived model version between the selected model version and its parent. The selected parent can be a revision or a derivation. | |
Add to Portfolio  | Adds the selected model versions to an existing portfolio. | About Searches |
Copy Selected  | Copies the structure and rules of the selected model version revisions to another model version revision. | Copying a Model Version |
Delete | Deletes the selected model version; click OK to confirm. You cannot delete a model version if it has any revisions or derivations, or if it is the main model version in the context of a model version. You can delete the main model version from the context of a model. | - |
Create Defect  Only shows if Defect Management is installed. | Creates a new defect that is reported against the selected model version. Selecting a revision enables this menu item; selecting more than one revision causes an error. | Creating a Defect |
Connect to DesignSync Object  Only shows if Defect Management is installed. | Connects the selected model version revisions to a DesignSync object. | Connecting a Revision to a DesignSync Object |
Disconnect from DesignSync Object  Only shows if Defect Management is installed. | Disconnects the selected model version revisions from the associated DesignSync object. | - |
| Add Merged From | Adds another model version revision from which the selected one is merged. Opens a Search window where you can choose the revision. | - |
| Remove Merged From | Removes a Merged From value from the selected model version revision. If the object is currently merged from only one revision, then this simply removes that one. If there are multiple merged values, a Search window opens where you can choose which revisions to remove. | - |
| Set Branched From | For a model version that is branched (does not work with revisions), changes the model version that this model version is branched from. You can select any revision that is not a child of the context revision. | About Searches |
Compare/Align Dispositions  | Allows you to compare dispositions between two selected model version revisions and, if appropriate, align or copy the disposition of a defect from one model version revision to the other. | Aligning or Copying Dispositions Between Model Version Revisions |
