CWMS-Vue provides several tools for manipulating records, depending on your access level. You can create, rename, duplicate, delete, and undelete records. There is the ability to copy records from one HEC-DSS file to another and merge two HEC-DSS files into one. You can also perform maintenance and check the status of a HEC-DSS file. The following sections review a few of the available data management functions. For further details see the HEC-DSSVue User's Manual.
Renaming HEC-DSS Records
To change the pathname parts of a HEC-DSS pathname:
Select one or more pathnames, and click Rename Records from the Edit menu. The Rename Record to: dialog opens.
Each of the fields (A - F) represents the different pathname parts. Enter one or more of the new pathname parts in the appropriate field. You will not be able to edit the D or E parts, as they are set by the data stored in the original pathname.
Click OK, the Rename Records to: dialog closes. A message appears informing you of the number of records renamed. The selected pathname is no longer displayed in the Selected Pathname List, and the pathname will display in the Pathname Table with the new pathname parts.
Duplicating HEC-DSS Records
Duplicating a HEC-DSS record allows you to make a copy of a record, but with a pathname part that has been changed. To duplicate records:
Select one or more pathnames. From the Edit menu, click Duplicate. The New pathname parts for duplicate records: dialog will open.
Each of the fields (A - F) represents the different pathname parts. Enter one or more of the new pathname parts in the appropriate field. You will not be able to edit the D or E parts, as they are set by the data stored in the original pathname.
Click OK, the New pathname parts for duplicate records: dialog closes. A message appears informing you of the number of records that were duplicated, and the new pathname is displayed in the Pathname Table.
Deleting and Undeleting HEC-DSS Records
To delete HEC-DSS records:
Select one or more HEC-DSS pathnames. From the Edit menu, click Delete Records.
A Delete Records window displays asking you to confirm the deletion. Click Yes.
A confirmation window displays informing you of the number of records that were deleted. Click OK, the confirmation window closes. The pathname(s) are removed from the Selected Pathname List and the Pathname List.
To undelete HEC-DSS records:
Before the next operation, click Undelete from the Edit menu.
Choose Select from the menu, and the Undelete Records dialog opens.
To select all the records displayed in the Undelete Records dialog, click Select All. To select individual records, click the checkbox that corresponds to the record you want to undelete under the Select column.
To restore the selected records, either click Apply or OK. A confirmation window displays letting you know that the records have been undeleted. Click OK, and the confirmation window closes. The Undelete Records dialog will close, and the records will be displayed in the Selected Pathname List and the Pathname List.
