Difference between Edit and Update in ClearPoint.

Edit fields remain consistent throughout time and include fields such as Owner or Description, for example, if you made a change to a description in July, you'd expect the Description to be the same in August.

Update fields are changed over time based on the reporting frequency set for an element. Fields like Analysis, Status, and Measure Data are examples of Update fields. For instance, if you provide a Green Status in July you'd expect the status to be reset in August.
