File-based Scheme
When using a file-based scheme for versioning, version identifiers are assigned from an XML file that is loaded into the database. The values in the XML file can establish the version identifiers that are used when a part, document, or CAD document is revised.
The XML file that is loaded must have the following format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<scheme>
<series name = "name1">
<value>P1</value>
<value>P2</value>
<value>P3</value>
</series>
</scheme>
* 
You must have at least two value elements in your XML file.
