Edit an existing Temporary Works record
Update details of an existing Temporary Works record, including status, category and metadata, while keeping a history-safe workflow.
This guide is designed for project manager.
Steps
Step 1: Open the Temporary Works edit wizard
From your project’s Temporary Works register, select the item you want to change and open it in the edit wizard; the form is pre-populated with the existing details so you can review what is currently recorded.
Step 2: Review current status and read-only items
Check the status of the Temporary Works item; if it has been struck or cancelled, the wizard shows a read-only notice and prevents further edits so you can see the history without changing it.
Step 3: Update core Temporary Works information
For active items, update key information such as description, location, category and inspection frequency to reflect the latest plan on site.
Step 4: Adjust design, designer and checker details
Modify design-related fields, including the design check category, designer organisation and checker organisation, so that responsibility and checking requirements stay accurate.
Step 5: Maintain metadata and planned dates
Update supporting metadata such as the title used in registers, design check status, scheduled load date and planned strike date so downstream planning and reporting remain aligned.
Step 6: Save changes to the existing record
When you save, the system patches the existing Temporary Works record rather than creating a new one, preserving the original reference while applying your updates.
Step 7: Resume an in-progress edit from draft
If you leave the wizard before saving, your draft edits are stored for that specific Temporary Works item; when you return, the wizard restores your unsaved changes from draft so you can continue where you left off.
