Latest entry: Scenario

The Latest entry in revision rules selects the most recent item revisions, regardless of their release status. Teamcenter does not differentiate between working revisions and revisions with status.

Settings available for Latest entries:

• Creation Date — Selects the latest item revision by the date the revision was created.
• Alphanumeric Rev ID — Selects the latest item revision by revision ID in alphanumeric (individual characters) order.
• Numeric Rev ID — Selects the latest item revision by revision ID in numeric order. Revisions with non-numeric IDs are not configured.
• Alpha+Number Rev ID — Selects the latest item revision by revision ID, sorting letter portions as an alphabetic group, and sorting digit portions as a number.

Comparison examples

Setting	Rev ID 1	Rev ID 2	Rev ID 3	Latest	Notes
Alphanumeric Rev ID	aa	b	—	b	Letters sorted alphabetically (individual letters); ANSI value of b > a.
Alpha + Number Rev ID	aa	b	—	aa	Letters grouped and sorted numerically; ANSI value of aa > b.
Alphanumeric Rev ID	21	3	—	3	Digits sorted as alphabetic (individual digits); ANSI value of 3 > 2.
Alpha + Number Rev ID	21	3	—	21	Digits grouped and sorted as number; 21 > 3.
Alphanumeric Rev ID	a5	b3	b23	b3	ANSI value of b > a, so b3/b23 selected on 1st char; then ANSI value of 3 > 2.
Alpha + Number Rev ID	a5	b3	b23	b23	ANSI value of b > a, so b3/b23 selected; numerical digits grouped and compared by number value — 23 > 3.
Alphanumeric Rev ID	aa4	bc123	bc22	bc22	ANSI value of b > a, so bc123/bc22 selected on 1st char; 3rd char: ANSI value of 2 > 1.
Alpha + Number Rev ID	aa4	bc123	bc22	bc123	ANSI value of bc > aa, so bc123/bc22 selected; numerical digits grouped and compared by number value — 123 > 22.

Example of a revision rule with latest by creation date entry

Latest( Creation Date )

If you configure the following item with this rule (dates are creation dates):

Part1/A : Status = Production [1-Apr-2006]
Part1/B : Working [1-Jun-2006]

Teamcenter configures Revision B because it was created later than revision A. It is not relevant if the revision is working or has status.
