Use the Replace feature to change one piece of text for another in a specific column throughout a project. You can replace text in the EPS, Activities, and Assignments pages.
Notes:
- You cannot make assignments using the Replace feature. For example, you cannot replace resource assignments or code assignments using the Replace feature.
- You cannot use the replace feature in any column that you cannot edit.
- You cannot use Replace in a column that allows you to select data from a list, for example Indicator type UDF fields, Percent Complete Type, and Cost Account.
- If you want to replace data globally, you can use Global Search & Replace.
To replace entries in a table:
- Navigate to any page with a table of entries.
- Right-click in a specific column of the table and choose Replace.
- In the Replace dialog box:
- In the Find what field, enter your search criteria.
- In the Replace with field, enter the text to which you want to change the found entries.
- Select the Match entire words option to constrain the results to only values that match the exact words as typed.
- Select the Match case option to constrain the results to only values that match the upper or lowercase spelling of the words as typed.
- Click Replace if you want to replace the highlighted entry, Replace All if you want to replace all entries, or Find Next to skip the highlighted entry and move to the next entry.
- If it becomes active, click Save.
