Data in the Procedure Database
The concept of changing data within the Procedure database may be broken down
into two categories: renaming Procedures and editing Procedures. The following
subsections discuss these two methods of changing data within the Procedure
database.
Renaming Procedures
To rename a Procedure is to change the value within the Procedure Name field.
While this may seem somewhat obvious, this definition will help clarify the
various interpretations of editing a Procedure, which is discussed later in this
chapter.
When a Procedure record is renamed, the links that are established between that
Procedure record and the Tag ID records that employ the Procedure remain intact.
You may rename a Procedure record by doing the following (only the Key User
and Admin User IDs may rename a Procedure record):
• Access the Instrument View page for any Tag ID record. (Procedures
themselves are independent of Tag ID records, so it doesn’t matter which Tag
ID record you select.)
• Select the Test Procedure tab to display the Test Procedure page.
• Click on the Procedure... button. Enter search criteria on the subsequent
Quick Search screen and select the Search button. The Procedure
Selection screen appears, displaying all records matching your search
criteria.
• If applicable, scroll to the Procedure record of your choice.
• Edit the Procedure Name field to reflect the Procedure record’s new name.
• Select the Done button to return to the Instrument View screen.
