This section describes the columns and fields listed in the Work with Machine IDs window.
The upper part of the window contains a list of machine identifiers, which is continuously updated according to the functions performed. Below the list is a group of objects that map to all the data elements of the selected machine identifier. The following list describes the controls listed in the Machine IDs window:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Field: | |
| Machine ID | Identifier of the machine. This field uniquely identifies the element and cannot be changed. |
| Description | Description of the machine identifier. |
| Model | Model of the machine. |
| Processor | Processor in the machine. |
| Insert Date | Date when the new machine ID was created. |
| Insert Time | Time when the new machine ID was created. |
| Button: | |
| Refresh | The machine ID information. If another user creates a machine ID from a different executable in the same database, you can see the changes. |
| Apply | Confirms the changes made to the machine ID. Before changes are applied, a series of checks on data elements are performed; if the checks fail, the update is blocked. |
| New | Initializes fields for insertion when creating a new machine ID. |
| Delete | Deletes the selected machine ID. Before a machine ID can be deleted, a series of referential integrity checks are carried
out which, if not passed, generate an error message and block the deletion.
Note: Before deleting a machine ID, any company identifiers contained within it must be deleted in the
Work with Companies area. For more information, see
Work with Companies.
|
| Cancel | Cancels any changes applied to the selected machine identifier. Any actions confirmed with Apply cannot be restored with Cancel but must be entered and confirmed again. |
| OK | Saves any changes that have not been applied and closes the window. |
