Requirements
Structure
It is possible to use the version management feature only on assets that have a workcopy-compliant structure. A structure is workcopy compliant if it has the following properties :
Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Child -> #self | References the current version of the asset to be replaced. |
| Text | Unique identifier in the format |
| Integer | Indicates the version number. |
These properties are verified in the Wizards tab of the object structure administration interface.
Arounf the tab “Versions”
Configuration
The version management feature is accessible on the front end via the tab Versions on the detail page.
To configure the display of that tab, the following entry point can be used: $.common.namedDisplays.defaultAssetDetailTabVersions. This tab configuration has been added to the configuration of the tabs on the stater-kit configuration delivered by default via this entry point $.common.namedDisplays.defaultAssetDetailMeta.column.tabs.
Security
Under the security property of the tab configuration(defaultAssetDetailTabVersions.security), it is possible to define which security domain(s) should be evaluated to display the versions tab.
By default, it is preconfigured with :
["objectdata/insert"]
It is possible to use the following security domains :
objectdata/insert
objectactions/create
objectactions/multiupdate
objectactions/delete
objectactions/view
objectactions/changestatus
If the security domains configured are multiple, all security domains should be granted for the user to be able to see the versions tab.
Actions on versions
A set of actions is possible depending on the type of versions and permissions of the user.
Draft version :
Preview and edit: Only if the user is allowed to edit the instance
Delete: Only if the user is allowed to delete the instance
Archived version :
Preview: Works if the user is allowed to edit the instance.
Delete: Only if the user is allowed to delete the instance
Current version: No actions are available on the versions tab. Actions for the current instance are displayed on the header.
Versions are still assets and thus are evaluated through security the same way as assets not involved in version management (through their status for instance).
