Set the Champion Model

To assign a champion model, follow these steps:

Expand the Models folder in the 2011 version of the Loan project. Right-click Reg1, select Set Champion Model, and click Yes to confirm.
Verify that the icon appears next to the champion model.

You assign a default version after the default champion model for the project is identified. To set the default version, follow these steps:

Right-click the 2011 version and select Set Default Version. Click Yes to confirm.
Verify that the icon appears next to the version folder.
Select the project folder to examine its properties. The value for Date Modified is today's date. The value for the Default Version is the name of the version folder.

Note: The champion model for the default version is used as the champion model for the project.
