Editing individual records

You can edit individual cells in the table by double-clicking them. The edits are made permanent by clicking the Save Changes button .

Note:

• If the cell is gray, the cell cannot be edited.
• If the cell is white, the cell is editable.
• A yellow-colored cell shows that it has been edited in this edit session but the edits are yet to be saved.

Note:

If a message appears that is related to acquiring locks, the need to reconcile, or not being able to acquire locks, and so on, then Roads and Highways conflict prevention is enabled. For more information about these messages, see Conflict prevention in the Roadway Characteristics Editor.

In the table, the following symbols in the first column denote the state of locks:

	Event lock has been acquired by the user. The event is editable.
	Event lock has been acquired by another user or by the same user in another version of the data. The event is uneditable.
No Symbol	No lock exists. Lock can be acquired

Bulk editing event fields

If you want to enter the same value for an event field, do the following.

Steps:

1. Click the Calculate Field button .
2. In the Field Calculator window, select the field to be updated using the Update Field drop-down list.
3. Enter the field value.
4. Click OK.
5. Click the Save Changes button to save the edits.

All the rows in the field will get the updated value from step 3.

Note:

If you find an unavailable record—that is, none of its cells are editable—check to see if the event ID for that record is missing or null. By design, records with missing or null event IDs are rendered uneditable.

There are a couple of ways to prevent null event IDs when adding events:

1. Ensure the event ID field's data type is a string with a minimum length of 32 characters. In such cases, when adding a new event and not providing a specified event ID, the RCE will automatically assign a GUID to the event.
2. If the event ID data type is not a string with a minimum of 32 characters, then RCE will not automatically assign a GUID for the event. In such cases, define attribute sets to designate the event ID as an attribute for input. For more information about configuring and defining attribute sets, see Attribute sets configuration and Configuring attribute sets.
