Change Details

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 transmitted, 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 transmitted, you can no longer edit this field.)

Edit Change Scheme to Define Custom Data

Use this Scheme to define any Custom data types for all Changes in this project.

Click Scheme from the New Change or the Change Details dialog box to open the Edit Change Scheme dialog box.

The Scheme contains the set of four fixed Change data items for the project; you cannot redefine these:

• ID
• Name
• Last Modified
• Last Modified By

Below these fields, you can define any number of additional fields.

1. Click Add to add another field.
2. Type in any custom field name (e.g. Reviewed by).

   
   
   

3. Click Add to add another custom field, or Delete to delete it.
4. Use the arrows at the left to change the order of the custom fields (the four fixed fields are always at the top of the list).

Import/Export Change Scheme

Click Export to save your Change Scheme as an xml file.

Then you can Import it for use in other project files.

Modify Change Details

To modify these data, select one or more Changes in the Change Manager.

1. Access Change Details: Right-click and select the Change Details command, or double-click on the Change, or click the Change Details button.
2. Edit the fields as needed.
   Note: Details of Changes from external projects cannot be edited.
   Note:  In Teamwork, you must reserve the Change Manager before modifying Change Details. Without reserving, you can only modify the details of Changes which you created and which have not yet been sent to the server.

        

Modify Details of Transmitted Change

If the selected Change is transmitted (or Archived), the Change Details dialog box has a lock on it. It is not advisable to edit such changes. If you must modify a transmitted 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.
