Managing Model Versions

You can manage model versions throughout their lifecycles by performing common actions on them from several contexts in Model Definition and otherdashboard apps.

This task shows you how to:

Revise a Model Version

You can revise a model version to capture a particular derivation during its lifecycle.

  1. To revise a model version, depending on your context, do one of the following:

    Context Actions
    My Model Versions page in any view From the model version's context menu, select New Revision.
    My Model Versions page in Data Grid View
    1. Click the revision level in the model version's Version field.
    2. In the Revisions dialog box, from the model version's context menu, select New Revision.
    My Model Versions page in any view
    1. From the model version's context menu, select Revisions.

  2. For more information, see Creating a Revision.

Branch a Model Version

You can branch of a model version. While revisions are derivations of the same object, a branch is a new object with a new identification.

  1. To create a branch of a model version, depending on your context, do one of the following:

    Context Actions
    My Model Versions page in any view From the model version's context menu, select New Branch.
    My Model Versions page in Data Grid View
    1. Click the revision level in the model version's Version field.
    2. In the Revisions dialog box, from the model version's context menu, select New Branch.
    My Model Versions page in any view
    1. From the model version's context menu, select Revisions.
    2. In the Revisions dialog box, from the model version's context menu, select New Branch.

Insert a New Revision Between Existing Revisions

  1. To insert a new revision between existing revisions, do one of the following:

    Context Action
    Model version's identity card Click the current revision number.
    Click Menu > Revision Explorer.

    The Revisions dialog box opens.
  2. Select the revision before which you want to insert the new revision.
  3. For more information, see Creating a Revision.

    Note: Select the Insert before check box.

The new revision is inserted before the selected revision. It continues the definition of its parent revision, in terms of variability and configuration effectivities.

Change the Model Version's Maturity State

You can change the lifecycle maturity state of a model version to evolve it through its lifecycle.

  1. To change the lifecycle maturity state of a model version, depending on your context, do one of the following:

    Context Actions
    My Model Versions page in any view From the model version's context menu, select Maturity.
    Recently Opened page
    Model version's identity card
    My Model Versions page in Data Grid View Click the model version's hyperlinked Maturity state.

  2. For more information, see Changing Maturity.

Change the Model Version's Organization, Collaborative Space, or Owner

You can move a model version to another organization or to another collaborative space. You can change its owner using the same process.

  1. To move a model version to another collaborative space or organization, or to change its owner, do the following:

    Context Actions
    My Model Versions page in any view From the model version's context menu, select Move To.
    Recently Opened page

  2. For more information, see Moving Objects to Another Collaborative Space or Organization.

Explore the Objects Related to the Model Version

You can explore the ecosystem of objects related to the model version.

  1. To explore the objects related to the model version, do the following:

  2. For more information, see Exploring Relationships Between Objects.

Delete a Model Version

You can delete a model version once it no longer has variability, configuration rules, product configurations, or manufacturing plans associated with it.

  1. Remove or delete all the objects associated with the model version such as variability, configuration rules, product configurations, and manufacturing plans.
  2. To delete the model version, do one of the following:

    Context Actions
    My Model Versions page in any view From the model version's context menu, select Delete.
