To make the pending edits effective in the running configuration, you must
assemble them. On the FactoryTalk Data Point dialog box, select the data
point rows in the grid and click Assemble Edits or select the data point rows
in the grid, right-click and select Assemble Edits from the menu.
It is not critical to assemble pending edits at a specific time in the online
edits process. If you have already created data point pending edits, you can
close the FactoryTalk Data Point dialog box without assembling and
proceed to make changes to transactions on the Pending Transaction
Definition dialog box. However, data point pending edits do not display on
the Pending Transaction Definition dialog box until they have been
assembled. It is a good idea to save and assemble data point pending edits
before creating transaction pending edits. Assembling new data points does
not affect a running configuration because the new data points are not used
in a running transaction yet.
You can also click Assemble Edits on the main FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager user interface to assemble data point pending edits.
