Edit an Item

You can change item attributes.

Rules for editing an item

• The item must be in the Work in Progress state.
• No other user can be editing the item.
• Only one item at a time can be edited.
• If the item is on a change order, the change administrator must have enabled Allow Edits. In this circumstance, the lifecycle state of the item cannot be edited.
• Only an Item Editor Level 1, Item Editor Level 2, or an Administrator can edit an item.

Edit opens an item record so you can:

• Modify the title and description fields.
• Add, remove, and modify user-defined properties.
• Attach and modify attachments. 
• Turn on and Turn off BOM rows.
