Add a Global Change

Add as many global changes as necessary to define different activity update scenarios in your project. Global changes are automatically saved to your project and can be run at any time. By default, new global changes are only visible to the user who created them, but they can be made publicly accessible to all users who have access to the project.

Global change parameters consist of If and Then statements. If statements define the field values that you want to identify on an activity. When a global change is run, each activity in the project is evaluated against the conditions in the If statement. Then statements specify the changes to be made when any or all of the field values are found for the activity. Changes are only made to activities for which the conditions of the If statement are true. Multiple If and Then conditions can be defined for a global change.

You must have the required security privileges to add, edit, or delete global changes.

After a global change is added or copied, it can be run on demand at any time. For more information, see Run a Global Change.
