Editing System-Wide Properties
Change system-wide properties (units of measure, dependent data,
customized dependent data, log data edits, new data entities, or date
format) using either the Entity Table or the database Properties
dialog. Use Windows to change the system date format. Refer to
the following topics for more information.
Note: ADS strongly recommends using the system
defaults for all of the system-wide properties. Consult
your ADS Service Representative for assistance.
Updating Data Dependencies
Most monitor data collected through Profile is obtained as raw
data. Profile uses this raw data to calculate dependent data for
final analysis and reporting. For example, Profile would use
ultrasonic depth data obtained during a collect to determine DFinal.
It then would apply the DFinal data to calculate QContinuity and
QContinuity to determine QFinal. Profile also can ensure any
changes made to data involving editing or importing are properly
applied to the dependent data, preventing you from having to
manually track changes throughout the system.
By default, Profile has pre-established the network of relationships
among the raw data and dependent data that facilitates the accurate
calculation of data dependencies. However, if necessary, Profile
does allow you to change data dependency relationships system-
wide.
Warning: ADS strongly recommends leaving the current
default data dependency structure unchanged. Changing or
reassigning data dependencies can result in serious
problems involving data accuracy throughout the database.
Please consult your ADS Service Representative or
Technical Support for assistance prior to making any
changes.
