","flexible_content":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Do your workflows incorporate version management? This can be an effective strategy to support multiuser editing of your feature services.\u00a0 Implementing a version management workflow poses many questions, particularly how to allow multiple users to view and interact with versions securely.<\/p>\n
With ArcGIS Workflow Manager 11.0, we\u2019ve introduced the Claim Version<\/a> step\u00a0 to help you answer this question.\u00a0 When you run the Create Version step, that newly created version becomes a job-specific version<\/em>.\u00a0 A job can have a single job-specific version, or it can have multiple job-specific versions of multiple data sources.\u00a0 The Claim Version step switches ownership of job-specific versions to the current user.\u00a0 When you configure the step, you can decide whether to claim the job-specific version(s) of one or more selected data sources, or to claim all job-specific versions.<\/p>\n Typically, as with any version, only the current owner or administrator can change<\/a> the job-specific version\u2019s ownership.\u00a0 One advantage of the Claim Version step is that it supersedes these permissions \u2013 the user running the step can simply claim the version on their own.\u00a0 Versions often pass through several hands in a data editing workflow, so claiming ownership in one simple step is a powerful capability.<\/p>\n For example, let\u2019s imagine that your team has been tasked with updating a utility company\u2019s powerline layers for a fire hazard assessment.\u00a0 Each analyst creates a private version of the data source to make edits, which then gets reviewed by a QC\u00a0 (Quality Control) team.\u00a0 A member of the QC team then simply claims the version to review edits, reconcile and post changes, and safely delete the branch.<\/p>\n To see how easy it is to use the Claim Version step, let\u2019s set up a basic data editing workflow that incorporates version management.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" First, we\u2019ll create a new diagram<\/a> and select a feature service that supports version management<\/a> to add as a data source.\u00a0 Note that since the Version Management capability only supports branch-versioned data, our workflow is specific to branch versioning.\u00a0 For traditional versioning scenarios and options, you can find more information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1642012,"id":1642012,"title":"Claim Version Step

Once we\u2019ve activated the diagram and created a job template<\/a>, we\u2019re ready to create<\/a> and run<\/a> a job to test our data editing workflow out.\u00a0 Run the Create Version step to create a job-specific version.\u00a0 Since the Claim Version step is not assigned to you, the job should no longer be available to you.<\/p>\n The user to whom you assigned the Claim Version step can now run the step to assume ownership of the job-specific version.\u00a0 Once your user has claimed the job version and posted their edits, they can remove it by running the Cleanup step.\u00a0 The job will close once the Cleanup step is finished.<\/p>\n The Claim Version step is extremely helpful when designing workflows that involve multiple users creating and managing versions of your data sources.\u00a0 This has been a basic walkthrough of how to configure and run the step, and we hope you can now see its potential to simplify your version management.\u00a0 You can now have users quickly and efficiently take ownership of a version to make edits, reconcile and post changes, and safely remove the version without having to get the version\u2019s current owner or an administrator involved. \u00a0 If you have questions or would like to learn more about Workflow Manager, you can reach out to us on the Esri Community and check out the resources
