How do I edit data after it is collected?

You display the data you want to edit in the Data Viewer and then edit it as required. To do this:

1. Display the chart containing the variable or attribute data point you want to edit. You may display this chart in the Data Collection window, on the Charts tab of the Violation Browser in the Plant Monitor, or in the Query Tool.
2. On the chart, click the variable or attribute data point you want to edit. This displays the Data Viewer.
   
   


3. In the Data column at the top, overwrite the value you want to change.
4. If, while you have the Data Viewer displayed, you'd like to add or edit an assignable cause, corrective action or note, do so in the lower portion of the dialog box.
5. Click OK. The Data Viewer closes, the chart is redrawn using the edited value and an Edit marker is added near the data point you edited.
   
   
6. If, in the future, you ever want to view the original value, you can click the edited data point and, in the top portion of the Data Viewer, scroll right until the Data (original) column is visible.
