Auto Version Tracking
The Automatic Version Tracking uses various correlators in a predetermined order
to automatically create matches, accept the most likely matches, and apply markup. The following
correlators are run in this order if the associated options are set:
If the Create Implied Matches option is set, Implied Matches will be created whenever
the above correlators accept matches.
If the Apply Implied Matches option is set, any created Implied Matches that have
the set minimum number of votes and does not exceed the set maximum number of conflicts
will be applied.
NOTE: It is unlikely that all matches in the entire program will be made and there is no guarantee that no mistakes will be made. This
action was designed to try to save as much time as possible while also taking a conservative approach to the automation.
Auto Version Tracking Options
Auto Version Tracking will run each selected correlator and will use the option values found
in the Auto Version Tracking options rather than the options chosen when the correlators are
run individually. To access the options use Edit->Tool Options->Version Tracking->Auto
Version Tracking from the Version Tracking Match Window.
The following options are found when the Edit->Tool Options->Version Tracking->Auto Version
Tracking options folder is selected and will determine which correlators will be run during
Auto Version Tracking.
