Draft, Minor, Major versions
A Safety Recommendation can be edited. To avoid concurrent editing and control the viewing permissions of Safety Recommendations, three saving options have been defined:
Save as draft
When you are editing a Safety Recommendation, you can save it as draft and only you will view that report. While this Safety Recommendation is in Draft state, only you will be able to see it.
Saving a Safety Recommendation as draft will not create a new version of the report.
Save as minor
When you change the state of a Safety Recommendation to Minor, it will now be seen by all the users in your Authority.
Saving a Safety Recommendation as Minor will create a new record in the Database and the version number will be updated.
The version number is composed by two numbers, separated by a dot: X.Y. Saving as Minor, the resulting version number is updating the version number after the separator, that is, X.Y+1.
In other words, say your version is 3.5, saving another report as Minor will update this number to 3.6.
Save as major
When saving as Major, the Safety Recommendation will be viewed by all the users of the Authorities it was shared with.
Saving a report as Major will create a new record in the Database and the version number will be updated.
The version number is composed by two numbers, separated by a dot: X.Y. Saving as Major, the resulting version number is updating the version number before the separator and setting the other one to zero, that is, X+1.0.
In other words, say your version is 3.5, saving another report as Major will update this number to 4.0.
