Update an existing Program Type and Channel

[Alok_Ramsisaria]

Hi Can anybody suggest me how to update existing program type and channel that already has member in it?

What exactly do you want to know?

You can modify Admin > Tags > Channel anytime.

You can hide old statuses and post new ones or even change their names. The changes are reflected across all Programs. Just do not copy and paste.

Hi Alok Ramsisaria,

If there are members in the program you, unfortunately, can't change the program's channel. You'd need to remove the members and change their status to "not in program" before you can change the channel. You could add them to static lists so you can easily select them all and change them back to their right status in the program after you've changed the channel. Hope that helps!

Can we update Program Type as well?

Alok Ramsisaria​ I don't believe you can change the program type unfortunately.

Also to change the channel you need to make sure there are no child campaigns with a "Change Program Status" flow step.
