How to reschedule a change

Drag the change representation

If you want to reschedule the change, without increasing or decreasing the duration:

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Click the change representation in the main pane, and drag it to the new time.

Click Save icon Save.

If you want to increase or decrease the duration of the change:

Click the resize handle at the appropriate end of the change representation, and drag it to its new time.

Click Save icon Save.

Note As you drag the change representation, a tooltip is displayed with:

The scheduled start and end times.
The downtime start and end times, if relevant.

For each scale view (Day, Week, and Month) there is a minimum display size for the change representation. If the change representation is at the minimum, you can reschedule the change by dragging it, but you cannot resize it. You must, instead, use the scheduling dialog.
