Partition Design and Commit Screens
Note – The partition Summary (Step 2) and Design (Step 3) screens, and all associated popups, give you a dynamic workspace to design your library partitions. All partition configuration information is automatically saved to the partition workspace in
SL Console memory and retained for the duration of your SL Console session. This allows you to switch among partition views and leave and return to the partition screens any number of times without losing your configuration changes.
Caution – Information in the SL Console partition workspace is saved to the library controller database only through the Commit (Step 4) screen. If your SL Console session ends or you refresh the workspace data before you have committed your updates through the Commit (Step 4) screen, you will lose any partition changes you have made through the Summary (Step 2) and Design (Step 3) screens and all associated popups.
