Explore Cumulus : Assets/Records : Editing Asset Information
   
Editing Asset Information
In general, you can edit the information stored on an asset. But you can only edit information which is stored in record fields you are allowed to edit.
To edit the information stored on an asset:
 
1. Select a Record View Set that displays the information you want to edit in the Information View or the Asset Information window.
2. Select the record you want to edit and change to Information View or open the Asset Information window.
3. Click the field you want to edit.
Fields with white backgrounds can be edited. If a field has a gray background, then it cannot be edited. (Either you are not allowed to edit or the field is not editable in general.)
4. Make your changes.
5. Click to save your changes.
If you want to edit further records in the collection, you can use the arrow icons to load a new record.
Editing a String Field in Multiple Records
If you are about to edit the content of a string field for multiple records at once and one or more records already contain text in the field you want to edit, Cumulus will ask you how to handle the new text.
Editing Fields with Validators
If a catalog contains fields with validators and one or more of these fields contain invalid values, or if mandatory fields have no value at all, a validator pane is displayed at the bottom of the Information Window or Information View, and the respective fields are marked with a special icon.
The message(s) displayed in the validator pane can be different for each field, depending on the settings defined by the administrator. Clicking on a message immediately activates the field with the erroneous value, even if it is not visible in the first place. As soon as you enter a correct value, both the special icon and the message disappear.
As long as a record contains invalid field values, it can not be saved. Either you fill in appropriate values in all of these fields, or any changes made to the record will be discarded.
