MANUALS > Engineering > Engineering Module - E/C > Engineering E/C, Update Menu > Engineering Control Selection > Engineering Control > Engineering Control Buttons > Change E/C Revision Button, via Engineering Control

Select the Change E/C Revision button to create a new E/C Revision.

Note: Please exercise extreme caution when using this option as this will create a global revision across the entire effective fleet based on the information entered in this window (i.e. the revision is not limited to the currently selected E/C).

There are three methods of E/C Authorization:

1. Individual Authorization - This is configured by authorization switches and Steps.
2. Mass Authorization of Pending E/Cs Button in Engineering Authorization Management option - This is a global authorization of E/Cs pending authorization.
3. Change E/C Revision button - This creates a global revision to a selected group of E/Cs (same E/C Category and/or same E/C old revision).

This button is security-controlled via Engineering/ Update/ Engineering Control/ Change E/C Revision. For more information refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training Manual. It is strongly advised that this button only be available for system administrators as this affects global E/Cs throughout the entire effective fleet.

The following information/options are available in this window:
