New Change Details

The following data are defined in the New Change dialog box.

Change ID: This value is mandatory and must be unique for each Change. With each new Change, the last number is automatically increased by one.

Name: This optional value will serve as the name of the Change. By default, the previous Change Name is shown here, but you can modify it as you like.

Last Modified: Time/date of last modification of the Change Details. Linking or unlinking elements or markers does not count as a Change modification. (Once a Change is issued, you can no longer edit this field.)

Last Modified by: User name who carried out the last modification (relevant for Teamwork projects). (Once a Change is issued, you can no longer edit this field.)

Modify Details of Issued Change

If the selected Change is Issued (or Archived), the Change Details dialog box has a lock on it. It is not advisable to edit such changes. If you must modify an Issued or an archived Change anyway, click the icon to unlock it.

You can edit the ID, Description, and any custom fields, but you cannot edit the Last Modified date or user name.

Once you leave the dialog, the Change is locked once more.
