Display Metric Versions

If Version Control has been turned on by your Administrator on a Metric template, all versions of the Metric are maintained in PowerSteering and can be accessed by a user at any time. Users have the choice to export previous versions (or the current one) in either HTML or XLS formats.

New versions are created anytime worksheet data is changed; this includes numeric data, Tags, Custom Fields, and Metric Copy. However, this does not include whenever Metrics get locked. Whenever these changes are saved, a new version of that Metric view will also be saved.

Note: "Metric" is a replaceable term in PowerSteering. Your organization may use a different label to represent Metrics on your site.

Note: Changes to Metric values originating from changes to associated costs will not create a new Metric version.
