You change a punch item one detail at a time, right where it's shown. There's no separate edit page.

  1. Open the punch item.
  2. In General Details, click the value you want to change. A pencil appears when you point at a value you can change.
  3. Change it:
    • Dropdowns and dates (assignee, approver, priority, due date, type, trade, responsible company, location, cost and schedule impact) save as soon as you pick a new value.
    • Title and description show Save and Cancel under the box. Press Enter to save a title, or Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac) to save a description.
  4. Press Esc or click Cancel to leave a field without changing it.

Good to know

  • Each field saves on its own. If someone else changes a different field at the same time, both changes are kept.
  • The status isn't edited here. Move the item along on the timeline at the top of the page; it asks you to confirm first. See Comment on an item or change its status.
  • The item number, created date and creator can't be changed.
  • Due date is required. You can pick a new one, but not clear it.
  • Clearing the title saves the item as Untitled. Clearing any other field just leaves it empty.
