Missing method versions in Empower Report Publisher - WKB16565
Article number: 16565
SYMPTOMS
- Missing method versions under Revision History of a report for a sample set or result set
ENVIRONMENT
- Empower 2
- Empower 3
- Report Method
- Revision History
CAUSE
This is expected behavior in Empower.
The method history structure is not linear; it is a branch. Gaps will be seen if a user bases the new version of a
method on an older version instead of the current version.
FIX or WORKAROUND
This is not a defect.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Example:
- A sample set is acquired using version 2 of a sample set method.
- The sample set completes.
- The sample set method is edited, not by using Alter Sample but by editing the method, creating version 3 of the method.
- The sample set that was acquired is taken into Alter Sample, some changes are made, and version 4 of the method is saved.
- When this sample set or an associated result set is reported, the sample set method report group shows versions 1, 2, and 4 in the Revision History, but the Method Version Summaries table shows all method versions. This is because version 3 was never associated with the sample set.
