Assign a Flag to a Version (Master Data Services)

[!INCLUDE SQL Server - Windows only ASDBMI]

[!INCLUDE support-notice]

In [!INCLUDEssMDSshort], assign a flag to a version to indicate the version that users or subscribing systems should use.

Note

Version flags can be assigned to only one version at a time. If you assign a flag that is already assigned to another version, the flag is moved to the version you selected.

Prerequisites

To perform this procedure:

• You must have permission to access the Version Management functional area.

• You must be a model administrator. For more information, see Administrators (Master Data Services).

• You must have created a version flag to assign. For more information, see Create a Version Flag (Master Data Services).

• You must have permission to access the Version Management functional area. For more information, see Functional Area Permissions (Master Data Services).

To assign a flag to a version

1. In [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm], click Version Management.

2. On the Manage Versions page, in the row for the version to which you want to assign a flag, double-click the cell in the Flag column.

3. From the list, select the flag you want to assign.

   [!NOTE]
   If the flag you want is not available, the flag might be available for Committed versions only. To confirm, go to the Manage Version Flags page and view the Committed Versions Only field for the flag.

4. Press ENTER to save the change.
