REVERT (Project Administration)

Function:

Allows the administrator to restore a Database (DB) to a previous session.

Description:

This command is similar to the BACKTRACK command. Sessions are defined as the work done between SAVEWORK commands. The administrator can revert to the date or session number required, or, if the required session has been stamped, they can revert to the Stamp. The current state of the DB will be lost.

Any elements which are claimed out to Users or extracts must exist in the backtracked session.

This command has a different effect from BACKTRACK. Instead of truncating the DB, a new session is added that is a copy of the required session. This means that unlike BACKTRACK, REVERT can always be reversed.

Note:
For DBs which contain external Drawing or Diagrams files (PADD and SCHE) the System may add an additional session immediately after the REVERT to modify the file names of certain Drawings or Diagrams. This means that the User will always see a modified version of the original session, rather than the exact REVERT session; and REVERT is not allowed when Users are modifying these types of DBs.
