Conditional Versioning
==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. 
 
:: [[File:New smartversion.png|800px|border]]
5. The New Version form will be displayed. Fill out the fields of this form.

* 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.

Versioning accomplishes this by allowing time stamp of the creation /modification, the name of concurrent versions the creator/modifier, and the '''Version Objects '''section.

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. ''' 4. A confirmation pop-up message will appear.

====Deleting Fields in Versions====
It is very important you always double-check the version that you are editing. '''Always be careful''' when deleting fields from the baseline version. Deleting fields from the baseline will delete those fields from all associated applications and forms. Any new snapshots that are taken afterwards will not include the deleted fields. As well, deleting fields from baseline will remove your ability to reference those fields and their values, thus removing the ability to use the previously stored values.
You have enabled Versioning and created your first snapshot. By default your Current Version is Deleting fields from versions that are '''not the baseline '''will only remove those fields from the baseline specific versionyou are editing - they will not be removed from other versions. You can verify the current version at any time by following the steps below:

===Conditional Versioning===
'''Conditional Versioning''' allows for a customized version of an application or form to be displayed to specific users based on conditions you set.
Conditions can include (but are not limited to):
::* Geography
::* Role
::* Organization type
::* Record type
::* Age
::* Conditions can also be based on the individual fields that make up an application or form. Any field can be the basis of a condition.
