Close phase and change phase

A phase can be closed only when the close conditions of the phase are met. In the out-of-box system, when you close a phase, the system moves the change record to the next phase in the workflow unless the change is in the last phase. When the change is in the last phase, there is a Close Change button instead of a Close Phase button.

Change phase allows you to move a change to another phase in the workflow. Change phase should be used only by administrators to accommodate unusual or special circumstances as it disrupts the workflow.
