Hi Ruxandra,

The version name you are mentioning is the name of the version what you have defined in the 'Project version administration' available in PPM application-->Portfolio & Project Administration-->Services.

You need to define the description for your object key. In your screenshot, the object key starts with 5000.....02 / 35.

Hello Ruxandra!

As Ravi said the naming of local or global snapshots is done in customizing. But as I look to your screenshot I suppose that you are not using manual creation of snapshots, isn't it? In other words it looks like you are using the automatic snapshot creation with the "create version"-button-choice in the project header (in the line of "save", "read/write" buttons).

As far as I know for the automatic snapshot creation there is no possibility to customize any name - but please correct me if I am wrong.

If you don't need this column you can also hide the column by implicit customizing (personalization).

I hope this answer will help you a little bit. But don't hesitate to come back to.

regards,

Hi Ruxandra,

Yes, project versions can be created from 'Project structure' view itself.

Totally from 3 areas, we can create project versions(Snapshots & Simulations).

1) From Project Structure (As shown in the above screenshot)

2) From Project version tab within the project

3) From NWBC-->Project Management-->Overview-->Versions
