Reason for Change Window

If change log for an analysis is active and the Require reason for change check box has been selected by an authorized user, then every time a user adds, modifies or deletes a record in the analysis the Reason for Change window will open automatically before saving the change to the record.

Enter the reason for the change in the field and then click OK to record the reason.

IMPORTANT: If an authorized user who is managing the change log changes the option setting, some changes in a revision may require a reason while others in the same revision may not.

Note the following items when changing a record in a Synthesis-enabled application while the Require reason for change check box is active:

If you are changing more than one Action or Control at the same time in the Resource Manager window, then the reason for change will automatically be recorded as either "Editing Multiple Controls" or "Editing Multiple Actions." This will display only once, regardless of how many times the Action or Control is used in the analysis.
If you are making changes to a mirrored Cause, then the reason for change will display only once, regardless of how many times the Cause is used in the analysis.
If you are changing the analysis in the FMRA view in BlockSim, then the system will automatically record the change as being "Changed in BlockSim."
