Understanding the Current Version Flag

The Current Version flag indicates whether a filter, dataset, or calc XML definition is ready to be used in production (For example, Current Version=Yes) or not (For example, Current Version=No). When a definition is initially added to the system, its life cycle starts with Current Version equals No.

Once the definition has been edited, tested, and deemed ready for use, its Current Version flag is manually set to Yes by clicking the Set Current button on the definition's View or Manage dialog boxes.

When you create of the current version of a definition, the clone starts its life cycle with its Current Version flag set to No.

Once the clone is edited and ready for production, it is manually set to be the current version and the current version flag on the "parent" definition is automatically changed from Yes to No.

If there is a problem with a clone that has been set to current, the definition may be rolled back by setting the older version to current.
