Creating a New Version of an Approved Consumable

Before creating a new version, run the Related Materials Report to check the impact the new version has on all initiatives (select the consumable and then Preview Preview-Blue). This will let you know exactly where the consumable is currently in use/cited.

To version a consumable, select it in the list, then select Create New Version NewVersion-Blue. Make the necessary changes to the details and Save them. Specifically, you need to change at least one of the following fields to successfully save a new version of the selected consumable:

Title

Part Number

Version Text

After you created the new version, you can run the Impact Report (select the consumable and then Preview Preview-Blue). This will list every initiative and place within the initiatives where any previous version of the selected consumable is cited or used.

You can update Update to the latest version of the consumable in your initiative on the:

TNA/TMD > Training Data > Resources screen, for consumables listed in the TNA or TMD respectively. This will update the consumable to the latest version in your initiative.

Resource Management screen on the Analysis/Design tabs under the Initiative Management folder, for any consumable cited or used anywhere in your initiative. This will update the consumable to the latest version in your initiative.

Cited Resources screen for any resources that are cited anywhere below the selected table of contents item on the Develop tab. This will update the consumable to the latest version only in the selected table of contents item or anywhere below it in the tree structure.

Select the consumable to update on your selected screen. Then select Update Update above the list to update to the latest version of the consumable. Any flags will change from New Version flags Flag-Yellow to System flags Flag-Red to help you find the places to check for possible updates to the content.
