To change the used project version, you must have an Administer Project permission.

You can set an option to get a notification when a new used project version appears. You may then choose to update the used project version to the latest version or keep working with the current one.

Setting for notification about version changes

By default, when you open your server project, you will get a notification if there are used project versions later than the used one in your project.  When this notification appears, click the Update project usages link and select the projects you want to update in the open Update Project Usages dialog.

AVAILABLE FROM 19.0 SP1 

By default, when you open your server project, you will get a notification if there are used project versions later than the used one in your project.  When this notification appears, click the Update used project link and select the projects you want to update in the open Update Used Projects dialog.


When you want to get notifications about updated used projects during your modeling process, you must define used projects for routine version checking. 


To get notifications about changes to a particular used project version

  1. From the main menu, select Collaborate > Project Usages > Project Usages.
  2. Select a used project and click to select the Notify on New Version check box.

You will be notified about updates of selected projects.


AVAILABLE FROM 19.0 SP1 

The users are now allowed to specify certain commit tags for every used project. When the new version is available of the used project with a certain commit tag, modeling tool will show the notification.


To get notifications about changes to a particular tagged used project version

  1. From the main menu, select Collaborate > Project Usages > Project Usages.
  2. Select a used project and click to select the Notify on New Version checkbox.
  3. Click Specify Tags nearby the drop-down list.
  4. In the Specify Tags dialog, double-click any row.

  5. Type to specify the tag, e.g., 2018Q (tags are case insensitive), and then click OK to close the dialog.

    It is recommended that tags specification would be done in patterns, because modeling tool searches for partial match, to understand better see example bellow.

  6. If you will not specify tags, modeling tool will show a warning icon.

Example

After a new version of the used project is committed to server with the tag that fully or partially matches specified tag, you will be notified about updates of these tagged projects.

Let’s say the user specifies these tags:
2018Q
2019Q
2020Q
Major

New versions and notification status:

  • New version without tags - no notification
  • New version with the tag [ Major ] – notification about a new version
  • New version with the tag [ 2018q1 ] – notification about a new version
  • New version with tags [Release][Major] – notification about a new version
  • New version with the tag [Release] – no notification 
  • New version with the tag [Q_2018Q2T] - notification about a new version


You can also choose to check all used project version updates in your server project.


To set notifications about changes to all used project versions

  1. On the main menu, click Options > Environment to open the Environment Options  dialog.
  2. In the options group list, select  Collaboration, then select the Notify About Newer Project Usages option, and specify commands to be notified:
      • on project opening;
