Change Event Type

You can change the event type of selected events while retaining the link to all associated survey data, multimedia, and manually created findings. You can change the event type to any other preconfigured event types (see Configure Event Types). Any auto-generated findings will be unlinked from the event, but not deleted.

To change the event type, follow the steps below:

1. On the Event Listing tab, select one or more events as required.

2. From the tab’s toolbar, choose Shortcuts ‣ Change Type. You can also select the same option from the context menu of the events (available by right-clicking).

3. In the dialog that appears, select the event type to which you want to switch.

4. Click OK.

   The type of the selected events get updated to the new event type. If the field names across event types match, the data is retained. If the field names do not match, the values are added to the Notes, which you can check on the Event Details pane. Note that if you change the event type back to the original, these values will not be populated back to the original fields but will remain in the Notes section.
