Date
All revisions of a specific version of a resource must have the same effective date. The
effective date for a resource must equal or fall after the effective date for the prior version
of that resource. Studio prevents you from entering a prior date.
The effective date defaults to MM/DD/YYYY, but may have a different format depending
on your locale setting.
Description
You can enter up to 100 characters to indicate what type of change was made to the
resource. This field defaults to the contents of the Description field of the resource
checked out, but you can enter a different description if you like.
Your entry in the Description field appears in the grid displayed on the Open File window
and in the library view.
Mode
Use this field to assign a mode to the resource as it is checked in. For instance, you can
use the Mode field to specify where in the development cycle the resource is.
For more information, see Defining Mode, Status, Class, and Project Options on page 402.
Status
Use this field to assign a status to the resource as it is checked in. For instance, you could
use the Status field to indicate whether a resource has passed or failed testing.

Class
Use this field to assign a class to the resource as it is checked in. For instance, you could
use the Class field to indicate the market in which a resource was applicable.
