3-4 Cable Management Wizards

MA4000 Expense Management Cable Management User Guide - Issue 1

The naming/numbering feature of these wizards all function in the same

way. Other information entered into the wizard is specific to the

particular component type.

Port Naming Wizard

A fifth documentation wizard, the Port Naming Wizard, can be

accessed on either the Ports tab of the Assets screen or the Port

Positions tab of the Termination Hardware screen. This wizard

allows you to generate or rename all ports on a given asset, though you

can still rename any port individually.
The Port Naming Wizard operates in the same general way as the other

four documentation wizards, except that it allows for only 5 (rather than

10) separate components of a naming/numbering scheme.
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.
