Process Item Structure Changes to Work Definitions
Use the Process Item Structure Changes to Work Definitions scheduled process to synchronize item structure component changes to the impacted work definitions.
Depending on the change, the process either synchronizes the change automatically in the existing versions of the impacted work definitions without sending a notification, or it sends a notification for the user to review and take action.
When to Use
The Process Item Structure Changes to Work Definitions synchronizes changes that are automated to the existing versions of the impacted work definitions. Hence, if changes to item structure components require manual intervention and work definition versioning, you shouldn’t run the process. You also don’t need to run the process for automatic work definitions. Changes to the item structure components will be reflected automatically on the new work order that's created using the automatic work definition.
