Changing valid values


If needed, you can change the variable code description or any of the user-defined fields.

Follow these instructions to make changes to an existing valid values record.

To change a valid values record

  1. From the JAMIS Administration home page > Setup tab, under Application Setup, click Valid values. Or, from the top of any JAMIS Administration screen, click Application Setup > Valid Values. The Valid Values screen appears.

  2. In the Filters section, enter one or more search criteria for the variable code that you want to change. Your filter choices are: table ID, variable code, description.

    Hints:
    You can enter partial information in a filter field, such as A to retrieve all variable codes that begin with A, or %A to retrieve all variable codes that contain the letter A. You can leave all filter fields blank to retrieve all variable code records.

  3. Click Retrieve to list variable code records that match the criteria you entered. The results appear in the bottom section of the screen.

  4. If needed, scroll to find the variable code that you want to change. JAMIS displays the records in ascending order by table ID. You can sort the list differently by clicking the appropriate column heading once or twice.

  5. Click Edit to the left of the variable code that you want to change. JAMIS makes the description and user-defined fields editable. If you are editing a location variable code, then this includes the Database Server Time Difference (+/-) field.

  6. Change data for the variable code as needed.

  7. Click Update to commit your changes to the variable code.

  8. Repeat the appropriate steps as needed to change data for additional variable codes.

Note that while editing a variable code, if you haven't clicked Update yet, you can click Cancel to undo any changes that you've made to the record.
