Adding Changes to a Change Order

The Changes link is used to enter change tasks only if proposed change approval is not required. From this folder, the change owner can assign documents slated for change, instructions for the changes needed, and identify who within the organization should complete the changes. Once changes are added, the change owner must route the changes for completion.
