User Actions Allowed on a Match Impact
Templates generated from a Reference Manual may need to be updated when a new version of the Reference Manual is released.
FieldLogs performs a process called Screening that compares the new version of the Reference Manual with the current Active version and highlights all the changes.
A change detected by the Screening process is called a Hit or a Match Impact.
Updating a Template from a Hit discusses how a Template is updated by a Match Impact. When the Screening process identifies a Template as being impacted, a new version of it must be initiated in order for it to be available for updation.
