System-Assigned and User-Assigned Version Identifiers
CentraSite maintains two version identifiers for a policy: a system-assigned identifier and a user-assigned identifier.
*The system-assigned identifier is a version number that CentraSite maintains for its own internal use. CentraSite automatically assigns this identifier to a policy when the policy is created. You cannot delete it or modify it. A system-assigned identifier for a policy is numeric and always has the format MajorVersion.Revision. A policy always begins with a system-assigned version identifier of 1.0. The MajorVersion number is incremented by one each time you create a new version of a policy (for example, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0).
A system-assigned version number of a policy is shown in the System Version column on the Design Time Policies page and in the System Version field of the policy detail page. However, if you manually provide a version number when creating a design time policy, then that value takes precedence over the system assigned version. You will see this user entered value displayed in the System Version column.
*The user-assigned identifier is an optional identifier that you can assign to a distinguish a specific version of a policy. This identifier does not need to be numeric. For example, you might use a value such as V2.a (beta) to identify a version.
