Create a System Task – Automated Revision Sync (in a Project)

This article will explain how to create a system task to automatically copy document revisions from a source folder or Project to a target folder or Project.


The Automated Revision Sync system task ensures that documents marked for O&M (Operations & Maintenance) remain up to date without manual intervention.

When a new revision is uploaded to the source location and meets the defined trigger conditions, the system automatically updates the corresponding document in the target location.

NOTE: Revisions can be synced across Projects only when both Projects are in the same data centre.

    • Click Target Folder.

    • In the Target Folder pop-up, select the Folder where revisions should be reflected.

Revision Sync Options

Option

Description

No options selected

Changes made in the source Project will be reflected in the target folder, even if the matching Document Reference (DocRef) does not exist in the target folder.

For example, if a new file is added to the source Project and the matching DocRef does not exist in the target folder, the file will still be copied automatically.

Sync only if DocRef exist in Target

Revisions will be synced only if the matching DocRef already exists in the target folder. If the DocRef does not exist, no action will be taken.

Copy secondary files

If the uploaded or revised document contains secondary files, those files will also be copied to the target folder.

NOTE: The target document will only be updated when the source document has a newer revision. If the source document is an earlier or matching revision, no update will occur.
