Creating an Impact Analysis

Assignees and the engineering change owner have the ability to create an impact analysis for an engineering change.

Before you begin: View the list of impact analyses. See Impact Analysis Page.

  1. Click Create New from the page Actions menu or toolbar. The Create New Impact Analysis page opens.



  2. Enter details in the following fields:

    Field Name Description
    Name Type a name for the impact analysis or check the Autoname check box. Names are case-sensitive and spaces are allowed.
