You can edit multiple transactions in a running configuration that uses
online edits from the main FactoryTalk Transaction Manager user interface.
Select one or more transactions in the Transaction Definition View in the
right pane, right-click, and select one of the following menu options.
 Enable Transaction or Disable Transaction- A new pending edit row
displays with the new state. The pending edit is automatically saved, but
must be assembled manually.
 Edit Transaction Parameters- The parameters that display on the
Trigger and Storage Parameters dialog box are FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager default values, not the values of the selected transactions.
Once again, the pending edit is automatically saved, but must be
assembled manually.

When you are finished changing the transaction, save the pending edits. You
must save pending edits before you assemble. Saving pending edits does not
affect the running configuration, it only saves the pending definition.

To make the pending edits effective in the configuration, you must assemble
them. On the Pending Transaction Definition dialog box, click Assemble
Edits. You can also click Assemble Edits on the main FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager user interface to assemble transaction pending edits.
There may be a delay between the time you assemble the pending definition and the
time the pending definition actually becomes effective, regardless of when the
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager user interface indicates the changes have been
made.
The rules governing when the actual transaction is changed are complex
because they take into consideration the management of currently running
transactions. Keep the following in mind:
 If a transaction is not currently executing, the software will apply
pending edits immediately.
