Revisions and Succession

An object with the same ID as an object already in the database but with a different Revision name is created as a Successor to the existing object. This is normally only appropriate for documents though there is in fact no restriction to prevent this mechanism being used with any class of object.
The AIM Dashboard by default shows the latest Revision – this being chronologically the most recent successor created in the database. The AIM Workhub does not interpret the Revision name in anyway: it is a just a string that could be a name or a number.
The user has no control over the sequence of Revisions other than by the order in which they are introduced into the AIM Workhub Database.
