Register Version
Feature Description
To use the version control function, you must first register a version for the dataset, a process known as versioning.
Registering a version requires meeting the following conditions:
- It is only supported for PostGIS and Yukon database datasources. Among these, a PostGIS datasource's dataset must not have a Transaction Lock when registering.
- Supported dataset types include: 2D point/line/region, 3D point/line/region, text, attribute table, CAD, network, and model. Among these, 3D point/line/region and model datasets only support version registration and version control, and operations such as committing changes, handling conflicts, and historical moments are temporarily not supported.
- The dataset is not involved in creating a Relation Dataset.
- The Database User must be a superuser or a regular user who owns the dataset.
A successfully registered version dataset will have a label on its icon. For example, the icon for a versioned region dataset is: 
. Editing non-versioned data is equivalent to a standard database short transaction and is not subject to version control.
The Register Version function is available in SuperMap iDesktopX 11i(2023) and later versions.
