Modify program properties from the timeline

You can quickly modify some program object properties from the timeline by double-clicking the cell you want to update and then changing the information as needed. You can also click Edit to enable edit mode, which turns on editing for all cells at once.

The type of data in the cell you are modifying determines how you update the information in the cell. For example, clicking on a date shows the calendar and allows you to pick a new date, while clicking on the status lets you select a different status from a list.

Note: If you have Autosave Tables enabled in your user properties panel, when you click off a cell that you have modified, it saves automatically. If you do not have this feature enabled, you must manually save any changes you made to any cells by clicking Save Changes in the upper right corner of the timeline. If you do not click this and then try to navigate to a different page, you are prompted to save your changes or discard them.

Procedure

From the program timeline, navigate to the cell you want to modify and then do one of the following:

• Double-click the cell and edit the contents as necessary.
• Click Edit. This puts all cells into edit mode and you can modify them as needed. When you are finished editing, click Save Edits to save your changes.

Note: If you have Autosave Tables enabled but use this method to edit the table, you must manually save your changes by clicking Save Edits.
