  2. Open the Modify tab, and then open the Location tab. The Locations section lists all of the locations that are associated with the Change; location specifications, including attributes, are displayed in the Location Specifications section.
  3. With an location row highlighted, select an attribute in the Specifications section that you want to modify, and click Modify Attribute to display fields in which to modify the selected attribute.
  4. After you have specified all of the location attribute modifications that apply, click Save as Plan.
