View Topic and Edit Topic pages

From the Topics table, you can view and edit topic information.

The menu items in a topic's Row Action menu () take you to a View Topic or Edit Topic page to view or edit general information about the topic, topic links, comments, attachments, actions, and history. When the page is in Edit mode, you can perform activities based on your permissions and topic workflow configuration.

Menu Item	Description	Available Actions
General Information	Displays the current field values that describe a topic: The fields are read-only, editable, or required. If a field is required, an asterisk (*) appears next to it. You cannot save the topic until you provide a value for the field. Each field accepts text, numeric, or date values, or provides a list of values you can select. If a value is not required, you can leave the value empty to indicate no value for the field. Fields may also offer a Select Available Values link so you can select one or more values from a list. Arrow icons may appear after the names of a pair of fields to show that they are a linked pair. For example, if fields for MedDRA SOC() and MedDRA HLGT () appear, the arrows indicate that you must select a value for the MedDRA SOC field first and then select a value for the MedDRA HLGT field. You cannot select an HLGT value first: the values available for HLGT depend on the SOC you select. The Visible to work teams field displays a list of work teams whose members can access the topic. In edit mode, to save changes to the General Information section, click Save. The changes are shown as entries in the History section. Note: The Save button affects only the General Information section of the topic. Do not click Save after you work with other sections of this page. Any changes to other sections are saved to the topic immediately.	None
Topic Links	Displays related topics that are linked to this topic. When the page is in edit mode, you can click Add Topic Link to select a topic and link it to this one. For each linked topic, you can click Remove Link to remove the link or View to view the linked topic. A set of filters appear for the section, determined by the Filter attribute on the Topic fields in the Workflow Configuration. These might include some of the following, plus filters customized for your organization: Project—Includes projects with the linked topics. Current state—Includes current topic states of the linked topics. Assigned to—Includes names of users and work teams assigned to the linked topics.	View Remove Link Columns Print Download
