Draft, Minor, Major versions

Draft, Minor, Major versions

A report (OR, VR, OC and SR) can be edited by users with permissions.

To avoid concurrent editing and control the viewing permissions of reports, three saving options have been defined:

Note that the "SAVE" button is used to aave as Draft and continue editing.

Save as draft

Available for all types of reports (OR, VR, OC, and SR).

When you are editing a report, you can save it as draft and only you will view that version. 

• The version is always represented as 0.0, regardless of the previous and next version.
• It can only be seen by the user who is currently editing the report.
• Saving a report as draft will not create a new version of the report.

Save as minor

Available for all types of reports (OR, VR, OC, and SR).

• When you change the state of an Occurrence to Minor, it will now be seen by all the users in your Authority.
• Saving a report as Minor will create a new record in the Database and the version number will be updated.
• Format (I.e. 5.1)
  • It is determined by the digits after the dot
  • It always has a 1-9 after the dot

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

Available only for OCs.

• When saving as Major, the Occurrence 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.
• Format (I.e. 5.0)
  • It is determined by the digits before the dot.
  • It always has a 0 after the dot

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.
