Recommendation: Wizards should be used properly and carefully so
nothing within your documentation is altered in any manner. It's a good
idea to underestimate the number of components needed and use the
wizards to document in small blocks of items. By doing so, the
individuals documenting can verify all is being documented correctly in
all areas of the application as intended. Since the wizards don't
complete everything needed, by creating small blocks of components at
a time the user can go through the application quickly to complete the
needed documentation. See the warning below for additional reasons for
these recommendations.
Although several items can be built within seconds, the application has no global
delete capability. Given this, deletion still must be completed by going to each
specific item and deleting the items one by one. The above recommendations for
using the wizards should be reviewed to safeguard against any problems.
Documentation Wizards
The wizards accessible from the Cable Management Main Page are
designed to minimize the data entry involved in documenting multiple
network components at the same time. Each wizard can be used to build
several identifiers in the same location, so you can create default
information that remains the same for all components being built at that
time.
From the Cable Management Main Page, you can directly access the
following wizards:
• Horizontal Link AutoNumbering Wizard
• Asset AutoNumbering Wizard
• Backbone AutoNumbering Wizard
• Termination Hardware AutoNumbering Wizard
The wizards allow you to quickly set up multiple records for the
component type, using as simple or as complex a naming or numbering
scheme as you wish.
Some examples are listed below:
• You could set up a numbering sequence as simple as 1-1, 1-2, or A-
1, A-2, etc.
• At the other extreme, you could set up a numbering sequence with up
to 10 numbers or characters, separated by spaces or special
characters where the first one might like this: EM-1A_123/A-1 C-
a\1 1 and the last in the series would be: EM-5C_333/J-9 E-p\9.
Each wizard includes View Sample to see how your numbering scheme
would look, as well as a Preview button to let you see all the items
listed out before you save them in the database.
