eSeaGrant features a built-in versioning system for ensuring that all users access only the most recent version.
 

To version an eSeaGrant FMP interface:

Panel
borderColor#CCCCCC
bgColor#FFFFFF
borderWidth1
borderStylesolid


As Super-Admin, go to the 'FMP Versioning' layout of the interface you wish to version, and click 'Version'.  Upon clicking this button,...

  • A copy of the FMP interface being versioned is saved to the same folder as the original, using the following naming convention:  prgm_prefix_<"PM" or "RFP">_<current date>.fp7 (e.g. "MITSG_RFP_13_June_2014.fp7")
  • The new copy is uploaded to the server, into the eSG system folder 'FMP_versions'.
  • The database is updated to reflect the new FMP version.

It's recommended that old versions be either deleted or moved to an archive.

  • If FMP interfaces are being shared via FMP Server, users will simply access the newest available version.
  • Otherwise, users will be prompted to download the new version when attempting to open an old version.
