Changing A Material
Materials have been added to the application through 2004. These materials can be changed by using the following steps.
1) Click the Materials button to take you to the Materials page. Log in.
2) Change the year to 2004 (or to the year for which you want to change materials).
3) Click the Show Materials button.
This will show you the materials assigned to each month of the selected year
4) Click the Chg button in the right most column of a Month/Material row you want to edit.
A new page is displayed that allows you to make changes.
5) Click the Update button to accept changes and return to the materials list.
The application returns to the Materials Table page. Click "Show Materials to see the updated material.
Adding A New Material Year
The button "Add Year" has been provided so that you can conveniently add the next year of months and materials. Follow these steps to add a new year to the materials list.
1) Click "Add Year" button.
The next available year is added to the year list. For example, if 2004 is the last year in the list then 2005 is added to the list. Select the new year and Click List Materials. Notice that default material names are added to the list. Their values are "new". You can change or remove this default value by using the procedure described in the proceeding discussion.
You may add as many future years as you want. STDC does not allow you to remove them, so its best to only add the years as you need them. Adding extra years will not interfer with the application. It may just be annoying for future administrators.
