Jason, What document are you referring to? In our drawings, we have the a user parameter called "status" that we can set to whatever we want.
Jason I'm assuming that you have a PDM system and if that is the case then your system admin can setup different release schemes, i.e. text. Without knowing which PDM system you are using I could not give instructions on how that is changed. On the Intralink 3x series there was a text file that is loaded for the release levels. Eric
