Version History

Version History page

Version History page displaying the Version History link (1) on the left Navigation pane.

The Submission Version History and Restore feature provides LEA users the ability to view submission version history and the ability to restore prior versions. The version history records a new version when the submission dataset changes states. The version history starts recording with the New Dataset Submission state, when the submission dataset gets promoted to the Data Entry state.

View Version History

Users are able to view the version history in their submissions applicable to their roles and permissions.

An LEA user with the role of Edit Dataset, Dataset Approval, Oversight, or Administration may view history for a submission dataset when it has been promoted past the state New Dataset Submission.

Restore Prior Versions

The system provides an authorized user a method to restore prior versions on the Submission Version History screen.

An LEA user with the Administration role can restore the submission dataset to a previous state, as long as the submission dataset is in an editable state that the user can access and lock

Overwrite Datasets

The Overwrite Dataset feature allows a user to replace all or part of existing data within a specific dataset.

When a user is working within a dataset and chooses Import all or part of the data from another file, the Delete All Data option deletes all data associated with the [CDS Number] for the selected dataset including GL, Supplemental and Explanation data, Fiscal Year, Reporting Period, and Type of Data.

When a user imports data using the Delete Only option, selected forms (funds, supplementals, etc.) are imported.

Note: Options are based on selected on Import Type: Other or Official. Selecting Official allows only the Delete All data overwrite option. Selecting Other provide the user with the option to overwrite only the forms being imported or Delete All data.
