Common Schedule Dialog Box Features

All of the schedule dialog boxes work in a similar way. The buttons available that you use to create and modify records in the schedule are all the same.

  •   Press this button to create a new record in the schedule. The record will be created with default information.

  •   Press this button to copy the displayed record in the schedule. The new record will be created with the same information as the displayed record.

  •   Press this button to save any changes made to the displayed record in the schedule. If you make changes and do not press this button, you will be prompted to save your changes before selecting a new record or closing the schedule dialog box.

  •   Press this button to delete the displayed record from the schedule. If there are any items inserted on a drawing in the project that use the record, you will not be able to delete it. You must first delete all of the items from the drawings before you can delete the record.

  •   Press this button to rename the displayed record in the schedule. Any labels on the drawing will be updated.

  •   Press this button to select a schedule record from a list of all of the items in the schedule. The record you select will be displayed in the dialog box, allowing you to view and modify it.

    For most schedules, a list of entries will be displayed.

    For distribution equipment, the Find Distribution Equipment dialog box will be displayed. This dialog box works the same way as the Edit Distribution Equipment command.

  •   Press this button to display the next record in the schedule. The next record is determined by sorting the entries in the schedule alphabetically. If you press this button when viewing the last record, it will wrap back to the beginning and display the first record.

  •   Press this button to display the previous record in the schedule. The previous record is determined by sorting the entries in the schedule alphabetically. If you press this button when viewing the first record, it will wrap to the end and display the last record.

  •  Current Group: The active group. All of the items that are created and modified will be associated with this group.

  •   Press this button to open the Groups dialog box. In addition to allowing you to select a new group, the Groups dialog box also allows you to create and modify groups. See the Schedule Groups section for more information.

  •   Press this button to move the displayed record to another group. A dialog box will prompt you to select the other group to which the item will be moved. The Current Group will be changed to the selected group. This button is disabled if only one group exists.

  •   Press this button to copy the displayed record to another group. A dialog box will prompt you to select the other group to which the item will be copied. A copy of the displayed record will be created in the other group. This button is disabled if only one group exists.
