Manage Version History

The version-management system is used to back up and restore previous definitions of individual categories or of the entire set of category definitions.

Two types of back ups are supported:

• Item tags: Backups of the definitions of individual categories.
• Definition sets: Backups of the entire set of category, topic, and program definitions before an updated set is applied.

Important

It is highly recommended to create a backup of your latest definition set before you apply your changes. A backup will enable you to easily rollback to the previous definition set.

The following tabs represent the processes that are supported:

Each Item Tag includes the current definition of the topic, program or category, the date and time the tag was created, your user name, and a comment.

A Tag is created when you:

• Manually add a tag. When you manually create a tag, Genesys recommends that you add a comment to explain the changes. The comment is attached to every definition tag in the system.
• Close SMART. That is, the system automatically creates a tag for each definition that was changed and not applied.
• Apply changes to SpeechMiner and choose to create a back up. The tag contains the definition as it appears in SpeechMiner when the changes are applied.

Each item tag includes the current definition of the item, the date and time the tag was created, your user name, and a comment. When you manually create a tag, you can enter the comment text you want to attach to it. When you apply changes, if you added a comment to the backup settings, the comment is attached to the tag of every item in the system. When SMART generates tags automatically before it closes, the tags have blank comment fields.

This section explains how to manually create item tags and how to work with item tags and definition sets. For information about creating definition sets, see Saving and Applying Changes. For information about managing definition sets, please refer to the SMART User Manual.

A Comment for tagging dialog box opens.

Any definition of an item that is stored in a tag can be restored to the Category Manager by rolling back the definition to the selected tag. Note that this rollback process only restores the definitions within the Category Manager. If you want to restore the definitions to SpeechMiner, you must apply them after they are restored in the Category Manager.

To restore a tagged definition

1. Verify that the category you want to restore is not open or locked.
2. Right-click the category you want to restore and select History.

The History window opens and displays a list of all the tagged definitions associated with the selected category, topic or program.

3. Select the tag you want to restore.
4. Click Mark for Rollback.

A rollback message appears at the bottom of the window. The message indicates that the definition will be restored in accordance with the selected tag.

5. Click OK.
The tagged definition is restored.
