Edit an Observation

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions

  • Additional Information:

    • If you create an observation without an assignee, no notification will be sent. If you edit the observation, add an assignee, and save, an email notification will be sent automatically.

Steps

Edit Inline from the Table

Use this method to quickly update supported fields directly from the Observations list view.

  1. Navigate to the project's Observations tool.

  2. Click directly into an editable field within the table and enter the updated information.
    Note: Changes are saved automatically.
    Note: Only certain fields can be edited directly from the table. For additional editing capabilities, you must click on the observation to open it (see the Edit an Entire Observation section below).
