Part Described By Document Link Questions

Hi all,

We are in wc 11.0

We are going to use Part Described by document links.

2 questions.,

1. How to show that a used Revision of a document is the Latest Revision or Not Latest Revision? (Remember this is a Described by link)

Strangely the OOTB system attribute "Latest" is for Iteration. Is there OOTB system attribute to know if it is the latest Revision?

2. Is there preference or property to delete  from the "Described by" link ---the old Revision of the document and link the Latest Revision of that document?

Because user will not know that the connected document is not the latest Revision. There is a high need for this.

Is this an enhancement done in WC 11.0 or do we need to do customization?

Thanks & Have a nice day!

Hari

Thanks for bringing this up. We're having at the moment the same problem with a customer.

Do you have a specific business use case to use only "Describe link" instead of  "Reference Link" where the link is Version-->Master unlike describe link which is "Version-->Version".

Yes, there are some use cases. E.g. Software binary code, calculations,.. Documents which are revision specific.

Most of the time the problem starts with the change. In the CN the user revises the WTPart and e.g. the CAD-Document. But then he revises also the calculation and there the problem starts! This new Document revision is not connected to the newest WTPart revision anymore. The user needs to manually disconnect the old revision and add the new revision to it.

I do have a Business Rule written to check this. But that's very late in the change process. So it would be really nice to have some warnings on the WTPart-Document table to see this conflict.
