Change text
The textual information of a value is edited without changing the concept, but rather to correct mistakes. If the concept of the class is changed, in most cases a new clas has to be created instead.
- NOTE: Change Textual Information is possible in any release.
In order to create a CR for changing the textual information of a CC proceed as follows:
- Select menu entry Change Text under User/Change Request/Value.
