Edit Datasets

Certain dataset data entry fields can be changed within the application and include the Dataset Name, Year, Period and RO? (Read-Only) status; note that the Dataset Designation cannot be changed once it is saved in the application.

 

To edit existing Dataset data entry fields:

1.Select a Dataset Name from the Datasets table.
2.Double click in the data entry field in which you want to change. You can type a new "Dataset Name" or select new information for RO? (Read-Only), Year or Period.
3.Click Save. A success message appears in a yellow box at the top of the screen when datasets are successfully updated.

 

To cancel changes:

After editing a dataset, you may want to cancel your changes. This option is available before clicking Save.

1.Click Cancel.
2.Click Yes to revert the changes.

Notes:

You cannot edit datasets that are a part of a Sequential Reporting Dataset. As a result, you will see a lock by the Dataset Name.
You cannot edit datasets that are marked as Read-only. As a result, you will see a lock by the Dataset Name and Yes appears in the Read-only (RO?) column.
You cannot make any changes to the current dataset. Switch to another dataset in Settings and then make your changes as needed.
