Revdates at Graphic Level

Hi everyone,

In one of our new manuals, I’ve been trying to set up our revdates to show up in the LEP and in our footers at the graphic element level. For some reason, our document keeps using the overall revdate for the overall document and not the revdate that is specific to each graphic. Can you help me set up the document where it will use revdates for each graphic instead of the overall revdate?

    Hi Rafael,

    Thank you for getting back to me. I've been using a FOSI stylesheet (.fos) to design our document templates. I think I was able to figure out the problem: I was missing a "revdate" code in our style panel and I did not reference the revdate.txt in the lep coding. It seems to be working now, but if I encounter another problem, I'll add an update.

    I've included a screenshot of what the corrected style panel should look like:RevDate+Coding.png

    Hi Tag,

    It may help the folks here get more of a handle on what you're doing if you add a few screenshots of whatever styling or xpath expression you're using to attempt this. It sounds as if maybe you're simply not traversing the document object model properly?
