==Overview==
'''Versioning '''(also referred to as '''SmartVersioning''') is a [[SmartSimple]] function that allows you to make concurrent versions of applications and forms while using a common set of underlying [[Custom Fields – General Information|fields]].
Without needing to change the content of previous versions or requiring a test-to-production environment, Versioning means you have the ability to store multiple versions of the same list of fields in a single location. You can test and use a new version prior to it going live.
Versioning works by starting with a core field-set that contains all fields from all applications, then allows you to choose which fields you want for any new version you're creating. You can add as many fields as you wish for your master '''baseline '''copy. When you're ready to create a new version of an application or form, Versioning takes a '''snapshot '''of your core field-set - that is, a copy of all the custom fields and their respective settings. This is the '''baseline '''that will be used as the starting point of your new version.
'''<u>Benefits of Versioning</u>''':
* Greatly reduces the work required to manage the changes that occur in forms and applications
* Easy creation, modification, and testing of forms prior to going live
* Preservation of past forms' values and appearance, allowing [[Global User Administrator|System Administrators]] to view previous form versions in their original format
<pre> You must be a user with SysAdmin privileges to configure the Versioning setting in your system. </pre>
==Configuration - Essentials==
===How Versioning Works===
'''Versioning '''works by first capturing all of the underlying fields that make up an application or form - this total set of fields is the '''"baseline." '''The baseline set of fields contains all of the fields in all application and form versions. The first step in using '''Versioning '''is to create a new "version" - this process includes giving that version a '''Name, Description, '''selecting the '''Application Name '''and '''Entity '''that contains the field-set, and taking a '''Snapshot '''of the field-set which creates the '''baseline. '''
Follow the steps below to create the baseline.
===Create a New Version===
1. Click on the 9-square menu icon on the top right of your page.
:: {{Icon-Menu}}
2. Under the heading '''Configuration, '''select '''Global Settings.'''
3. Under the heading '''System Configuration, '''click the hyperlink '''SmartVersioning.'''
:: [[File:Smartversioning.png|800px|border]]
Any existing versions that have already been created in your system may be listed here. If you want to edit these, simply click the '''pencil icon '''to the left of each version name.
4. To create a new version, click the '''+ icon '''on the top left.

* You must fill out at least the '''Name '''and '''Description '''fields to save a new version
* '''Tip: '''Naming versions with clear and appropriate titles/descriptions will be of great assistance. For example, clearly name the '''baseline '''version so that it is differentiated from any future versions (i.e. '''Baseline General Application'''). It may also be useful to follow a standard naming convention, such as naming the application and form versions based on their period name (ex: '''2016 Q1 General Application''') so that you know when the versions existed.
* '''Tip: '''Period-based dates such as '''Up to 2020 Budget Manager '''are particularly useful for future-facing Versioning; label the Version so that you know you will not make it active until the time has come.
6. When you are done inputting information into the fields, click the '''Save '''button.
==Overview=Create a Baseline===Once you have created and '''VersioningSaved ''' greatly reduces a new version, the work required page will reload to manage display the changes that occurs in forms date and applications. Versioning accomplishes this by allowing the creation time stamp 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 the name of forms pre-launchthe creator/modifier, and the '''Version Objects '''section. Other benefits include Through the '''Version Objects '''section, we will take the snapshot that comprises the preservation of past forms values and appearance, allowing admins to view previous form versions in their original formatbaseline field-set for this version.
Before '''Versioning''' making and testing changes to applications and :: [[File:New forms could be cumbersome, and to ensure a smooth transitions many organizations deployed whole testing environments to manage these eventsfor smartversioning.png|800px|border]]1. These environments allowed organizations the ability to build new applications and forms, and thoroughly test them before promoting the changes Click into the live production environment. Although the '''VersioningSelect Application ''' does not eliminate the need for testing environments, organizations who regularly change or update requirements on applications can now manage this process field - a drop-down list of available {{UTA}}s within the '''Versioning''' feature setsystem will appear.

2. After selecting an application, click into the '''Entity '''field which will open a drop-down list of the associated [[Entity|entities]] with that application. All {{L1}}, {{L2}}, and {{L3}} entities will be available.

'''Note: '''If no specific level is chosen, the system will default to the {{#ev:youtube|DDCpYI_EcM0 L1}}of that application. For example, it will default to '''Budget '''if the application in question is the '''Budget Manager. '''
3. Once both the '''Application Name '''and '''Entity '''have been chosen, click the button on the right side: '''Take Snapshot. '''
==Getting Started and Taking a Snapshot/Creating a Baseline==4. A confirmation pop-up message will appear. Click '''Yes.'''

We call this total set of fields the '''"baseline"the '''. The baseline set of fields contains all fields in all application and form versions. The first step in using Versioning is to create a new version. This process includes giving the version a name and description, selecting the '''Application Name''' and '''Entity ''' that contains the field-set, and taking a snapshot of the field-set which creates the baseline. Follow the details steps below to create the baseline.
===Create * '''Note:''' You may want to capture fields-sets from the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. In this case you will repeat the steps above and create additional '''Version Objects '''lines to capture any additional objects, activities, or transactions. * '''Tip: '''It is useful to repeat the process and capture field-sets from all levels of a {{UTA}}, particularly if they are pulling fields from each other. * '''Note: '''A snapshot does not mean that the version is active; the version will not be activated (that is, in use to the extent that all applications in this version will pertain with the field-set of that version) until you [[Versioning#Activating a new New Version===|activate the version]] in your system.
===Finding the Current Version===
Having followed the steps from the previous sections, you have just enabled Versioning onto your system and created your first snapshot. By default, your '''Current '''is your '''baseline '''version. You can verify the current version used in your system at any time by following the steps below:
:1. Under Navigate to the Configuration menu click on '''Global Settings'''::[[Image:configurationmenuarcadiadesired {{UTA}} whose Version you want to confirm.png|link:|200px]]
'''Note: '''You can navigate to any UTA by clicking the 9-square menu icon on the top right and clicking on the UTA name under the heading '''Applications.'''

Clearly name the baseline version so that it is differentiated from the future versions (ex. Baseline General Application). It may be useful to name application and form versions based on their period name (ex. 2016 Q1 General Application).
At the top of the list of custom fields will be the '''Version '''combo box.
The '''Version''' combo box contains the name of the version of the application or form that you are currently editing. It is this field that allows you to switch between the different concurrent versions that are available. Here is where you will switch between the '''baseline '''application version, the current application version, and the new application you are building and testing.
===Take a Snapshot/Create a baseline===
[[Image:Select_custom_field_version2017.png|900px|border|link:]]
Once you've created a new Version, the '''Version Objects''' section is displayed. This section allows you to select the '''Application Name''' and '''Entity''' and take a Snapshot. The snapshot captures all fields contained in the selected form or application to the newly created version. The baseline is also created by taking a snapshot.
