If an attempt is made to edit data, or do anything else for which you do not have
security, you will receive a message stating such.
There are some special concerns with respect to editing data within the Test
Results database that warrant further discussion. Within the Test Results database
there is a special field called Comments Modified, whose setting is controlled
by the DPC/TRACK program. If data is edited within the Comments field for a
given Test Results record, the Comments Modified checkbox will automatically
become selected. You cannot change the setting of this checkbox, even if you are
logged in as the Admin.
Note
The ability to edit test results (on a limited basis) is restricted to the
Comments field. Also, Test Results records cannot be deleted; they
can only be excluded. To “exclude” a test result is to prohibit that
record from graphs and reports by virtue of a checkbox that may
only be set by the Admin or Key User.
