Download Revision dialog
You use the Download Revision dialog to specify the revision of the selected programme that you want to download from Asta Vision to your computer. You can also choose to download a specific revision of a baseline.
How to access the Download Revision dialog
To access the Download Revision dialog, right-click an Asta Vision programme on the Open tab of the Backstage view and select Download specific revision from the menu that appears.
Explanation of the fields on the dialog
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the Asta Vision programme that you right-clicked on the Open tab of the Backstage view. |
| Programme | Select the revision of the programme that you want to download. |
| Baseline | If you want to download a baseline as well as the programme, select the revision of the baseline - or the revision of the programme that you want to use for comparison purposes - that you want to download. |
| Display unnamed revisions |
Select this check box to include revisions of the programme and its baselines that have no name in the Programme and Baseline fields, or clear this check box to exclude unnamed revisions from these fields. If you choose to include unnamed revisions, they are listed according to their date.
Depending on your Asta Vision workflow, excluding unnamed revisions from these fields may allow you to select from approved revisions only. |
| Display progress revisions | Select this check box to include revisions of the programme and its baselines that have been created as a result of progress actions in the Asta Vision workflow in the Programme and Baseline fields, or clear this check box to exclude such revisions from these fields. If you choose to include these revisions, you can identify them in the Programme and Baseline fields as they are prefixed with "Progress Date - ". |
| Include programme revisions as baselines |
Select this check box to include all revisions of the programme in the Baseline field, regardless of whether or not they are actually baselines, or clear the check box to list only baseline revisions in this field. If you include all revisions in the Baseline field, you can download an earlier revision of a programme alongside the revision you are downloading, and use this as a baseline for comparison purposes.
If you choose to include all revisions of the programme in the Baseline field, this enables you to select any revision of the programme and use it as a baseline. You may want to select an earlier revision of a project and use it as if it were a baseline, to determine how the project has progressed in relation to an earlier revision. |
