Summary

The Set initial values dialog enables you to manually set the ID for the initial revision of a newly-created Item in an Altium Vault. Modify the various levels of the ID in accordance with the chosen Revision Naming Scheme.

For information about revision naming schemes, see Item Revision Naming Schemes.

Access

The dialog is accessed by clicking the   button in the Revision ID field of the Edit Item dialog (right-click on an Item in the Vaults panel then choose Properties).

Access to the Set initial values dialog is only possible provided you have enabled the Allow manual initial revision Id option, on the Data Management – Vaults page of the Preferences dialog.

Options/Controls

  • Level <0> initial ID - use the   buttons to select the desired revision ID of the Level shown within the < >. You can also enter the desired value in the textbox.
The ID of the Item's first planned revision can be changed at any point after the Item is created and before data is released into that initial revision (i.e., it is still in the Planned state).
Note

The features available depend on your level of Altium Designer Software Subscription.
