Versions are the lowest grouping node above individual devices in the Device and Systems 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 Device and Systems Structure. Version are also used in the Component Structure. For information on component version, click here.
