—If the information is correct, click the Save button. The Navigator Tree will be updated with the infrastructure components you created.

—If there's an error on the list, you can discard the additions by clicking in a different section of the Navigator Tree and then clicking OK on the dialog box that appears.

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

 

 

WARNING

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-9E-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.
