2. Select a single attribute.
When you select a single attribute, the attribute’s instance ID, if any, and
value appear in the Instance ID and Value field, respectively. If these
fields remain empty, you may have multiple entries selected. In this case,
click on the left side of the Deselect All button and then select the
attribute again.
3. Type the correct information in the Instance ID and Value text fields.
(ECM does not permit you to enter invalid information or duplicate
instance IDs.)
When you modify an entry in one of these fields, notice that the Update
button becomes enabled. If you want to undo any changes, select the
Undo Typing option in the Edit menu.
4. After entering the correct values, click on the Update button. Update
applies the modified values to the Attribute/Value list.
If you want discard changes, select the Discard All Changes option in
the Edit menu.
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 until you have completed the modifications.
Then save the configuration by clicking on Save or Save As.
You will receive error prompts if you try to save the configuration before
clicking on the Update button or if you try to close the Configurations
window before updating modifications or saving the configuration.
