You can now merge multiple references of the same type into a single reference. This is useful when multiple copies of the same reference are added to your project. You can merge the references and update all the affected items so they are all pointing to a single reference.

Select the desired references and click the Merge button.

Select the reference you want to merge all the other references to (this is referred to as the Primary reference).

Click Preview Merge. This allows you to see how many references will be merged, how many references will be deleted, and the number of items that will be affected by merging the references.

Click the Merge button. The references are merged into a single reference.

All the selected references are merged into the primary reference and the secondary references are deleted from the project. All the questions that that contained one of the selected references now all contain the Primary reference. You can see this on the Question Metadata tab.

Manage | Project Bank | Examine Questions page

Description:

Project Managers can now override mandatory item configurations when changing the state of the item, or saving the item that creates a new revision.

The project manager can override the following mandatory configurations:

• Require Writer to classify questions to level = yes
• Questions must have references = yes
• Require reviewers to classify unclassified questions to level = yes
• Mandatory question Metadata = true

This change allows project managers to change the state of an item from the Manage | Project Bank | Examine Questions page even if the item has not met all the mandatory requirements. Previously project managers had to change the mandatory item configurations before they could change the state of the item, and then had to reset the mandatory item configurations.

Item with mandatory blueprint. Manager can change the Draft state to Review One state without adding the mandatory blueprint.
