Enter Develop Levels

Explanation

Use this activity to enter or maintain development levels used for revisions. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

All engineering parts go through different phases from analysis/design to manufacturing/maintenance. By using the develop level, you can specify the phases you want to use. Examples of develop levels are  analysis, design, manufacturing, prototyping, or testing.

A develop level can be changed while the revision status is set to Development, and when the part revision structure is set to Active. Once the part revision level is released, the develop level is fixed and cannot be changed.
