About Change Intent
Change intent provides a proactive way of planning ‘intended’ product changes without requiring the commitment to the next sequential revisions. In the planning stage of the change notice, you can identify the affected objects, and assign the proposed change intent to it. In the implementation stage, the work related to the resulting objects is performed in accordance with the approved affected objects and their assigned change intent. This capability offers a better understanding of the relationship between the affected objects and the resulting objects on a change notice, and easier ways to quickly understand the differences.
You can set change intent for one or more affected object types in the affected objects table. For more information on how to set change intent, see Setting Change Intent.
