8.1 Using a Model Version

A model version is an EBB Version to which other versions refer for select keys and routing functions, but which contain different report criteria. By using a model version, you only need to make changes for select keys and routing functions in one place. Other versions refer to the model by naming the model using the Maintain EBB Version program.

To use a model version, complete the following tasks:

  • Setting up a model version

  • Creating a new version using a model

8.1.1 Setting up a Model Version

A model version is a working version. You add a model version just as you add any other version. After you select reports, define select keys, and attach routing functions, you can use the model version to create subsequent versions or refer existing versions to the model. You should consider using the name model when creating the model to indicate it is a model version.
