Columns

Version numbers are assigned in sequential order each time a version is created.

Publish Time

Batch Count

Republish

Click to republish the selected batch class so it becomes the most recent published version. The republished version is different from the current version that is editable in the Administration module.

Delete

Click to remove one or more selected batch class versions. You cannot delete the Administration version, the current published version, or a batch class that is currently in use.

When you delete a batch class version, the PubTypes and custom data folders related to that version are removed, along with any associated data in the database.

Description

Click to open a window to type a description (up to 80 characters) of the selected batch class version. The saved description appears in the Description column.

Compare

The comparison lists differences between the two batch class versions related to additions, modifications or deletions. When the comparison is finished, the path to the XML file appears in a message box.
