Versions are the lowest grouping node above individual devices in the Building Service Structure. Generally, individual devices that are identical or part of the same system are created under the same version.
Versions are shown in the Types section on their parent group or designation details page. In a three-level hierarchy, a version is below a designation. In a two-level hierarchy, a version is directly below a group.
Version Listed in the Names Section of a Designation's Details Page
This topic outlines versions in the Building Service Structure. Versions are also used in the Component Structure. For information on component versions, click here.
Version Details Page
The version details page is accessed by clicking on a version in the Types section in a group details or designation details page. You can also access a device details page from the search page and then double-click the version (the level above the device) in the Navigation tree on the device details page.
The version details page includes the sections below.
