Set Under Change
When a package is received and accepted from a contractor, small modifications on the received documents may be necessary. To support this use case, the documents can be assigned by a Document Controller or Project Owner to an internal member. Meta data changes can be done by the Document Controller, but more technical work can be performed by an internal user with the Contributor role. When a document is under change, only the current assignee can make changes to the document.
It is not possible to send, release, or submit a document that is in Under Change status.
Important!
The Upload new revisions setting must be enabled for the project type to utilize this functionality.
Only documents in For Routing status can be set under change.
You must be assigned to the Tenant Administrator, Document Controller, or Project Owner role to perform this task.
The Under Change functionality follows this general workflow:
-
The Document Controller or Project Owner adds documents in For Routing status to their clipboard.
-
The Document Controller or Project Owner selects the Set Under Change command and assigns the documents to the appropriate user.
-
The documents are assigned to the user and the document status changes to Under Change.

The revision is automatically matched to the appropriate document OR the Assignee manually matches the revision to the document.
