Creating new product class versions

Product class versions can be created to accommodate different versions of a product class with which you are working. For example, if you are working on version 3.1.1.0 of a product and version 3.1.2.0 has been developed, you can add 3.1.2.0 as a product class that you can choose on the Definition pane on the Class Properties dialog box.

Aside from adding the version number to the Product Class Version drop-down list, adding a product class allows you to choose which tables, datasets, and feature classes are included in the version.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. Navigate to the product class for which you want to create a new product class version.
4. Right-click the product class and click Properties.

   The Class Properties dialog box appears.

5. Click Definition on the left side of the Class Properties dialog box.
6. Click New.

   The New Product Class Version dialog box appears.
7. If necessary, double-click the text in the Major text box and type a new value for the major version.
8. If necessary, double-click the text in the Minor text box and type a new value for the minor version.
9. If necessary, double-click the text in the Edition text box and type a new value for the edition.
10. If necessary, double-click the text in the Revision text box and type a new value for the revision.
11. Click OK.

    The Class Properties dialog box appears.

12. Click the Product Class Version drop-down arrow and choose the product class version you just created.
13. Check the check boxes next to the tables, datasets, and individual feature classes you want to include in the product class version.
    Tip:

    To check all the check boxes next to the table and dataset names, click Check All; to clear all the check boxes next to the table and dataset names, click Clear All.

14. Click OK.
