Uncommitted work

When you change work records in the graphical view, their appearance in the Activity table changes. Uncommitted work is indicated with an asterisk, and is italicized in blue.

You can commit work (at the PM or work order level) by using the Commit Selected Work action, or you can commit all changes at once by using the Commit All button. The edits can be changes that you made in the Gantt view, or changes that came from a child work record. (The graphical view always recalculates the duration of the parent work record to span the duration of its children.) You cannot commit a task without its parent work record. However, when you commit a work order, its tasks are also committed.

If you want to erase all uncommitted changes, you can refresh the graphical view. The uncommitted changes are overwritten by data from the work records in the database.
