Refreshing Source Data in UDIs
UDIs combine data from many sources. The data in the UDIs comes from three sources: templates, attribute populators, and manual entry. When the source data in an existing UDI has changed, the UDI must be resubmitted to the regulatory agency.
Follow these steps to refresh the data in a UDI in Windchill and resubmit the information.

• Submissions in the Submission, In Progress, and Delayed states cannot be refreshed. A refresh during these states could cause inconsistencies between the agency record and the controlled UDI record.
• During this process, the attributes in the source data overwrite the current values in the record. Make sure that you intend to replace these user edits before processing.
