    • To restrict the information displayed to a single change label, click the arrow in the table header of a column and enter a filter text.

Booking changes to a change label retrospectively

You can select individual objects and their dependencies from any objects in the database and book them to a change label.

In certain cases, it is necessary to add the dependent objects to the change label as well. For example, if processes are being transported, the dependent process steps, process parameters, and events should also be transported. This is also true for approval policies, approval workflows, approval steps, and approval procedures.

IMPORTANT: Consistently book all changes to an object to the change label. It is not possible to add changes of individual properties to the change label at a later date.

  2. Select the change label in the Change labels menu in the Change management dialog.

    TIP: To select more than one object, use Shift + select or Ctrl + select.

TIP: You can also use the properties of an object to add that object to a change label.

    Here you can assign a new or an existing change label to the object and its dependent objects.
