'''Versioning''' greatly reduces the work required to manage changes that occurs in forms and applications. Versioning accomplishes this by allowing the creation of concurrent versions of applications and forms all using a common set of underlying fields. The result allows for the easy creation, modification, and testing of forms pre-launch. Another benefit includes the preservation of past forms values and appearance, allowing one to view previous form versions in their original format.
Before '''Versioning''' making and testing changes to applications and form could require a lot of work, to ensure a smooth transitions many organizations deploy whole testing environments. These environments allowed the ability to build new applications and forms, and thoroughly test them before promoting these changes to the live production environment. Although '''Versioning''' does not eliminate the need for testing environments, organizations who regularly change or update requirements on applications can now manage this process with the '''Versioning''' feature set. '''Global Administrator''' privileges are required to configure this setting.
# Under the Configuration menu click on '''Global Settings'''
# Under the System Configuration section, click on '''SmartVersioning'''# Click on the '''"+" ''' icon to create a new version.
# The '''New Version''' window is displayed.
# Give the Version a Name and Description, when done click '''Save'''.
