Edit Item

Editing items in Sanction II is easy - just right click on the item and choose Edit. Just type in a new entry for any of the on screen fields and choose OK.

To change the file location of the item:

1.    Click on the .button.

2.    Browse to the file you would like to replace the current file with, or type in the new file information manually.

If you are updating the file location path, and other files in the group are located in the same path, you do not need to manually change the path for each item. Just choose Update Entire Group Path to update the path entry for all items in the selected Group.

Note- Updating the entire group path will fail if you have already updated the current item (without originally selecting Update Entire Group Path ) and then attempt to Edit the item path again. This is because the path to the item has already been changed and the rest of the items will not have the same path. You must choose an item with the same current path as the other items in order to successfully update the entire group.

You may also use the following navigation buttons to edit multiple items in a group:

Previous Group

Previous Item

Next Item

Next Group

Important - clicking on a navigation button automatically updates the current record.

Warning – if you rename an item which has been previously added as a synchronized exhibit, the synchronization will fail. You must re-add the item to the media clip segment if you change the item ID.

Changing the Group Name

You may change the group name for an item from the Edit dialog, however this will affect only the item loaded. Note the following example:

Group ID

DOC0001 DOC0001

Changing the Group to DOC0001A creates a new group (DOC0001A) and removes the current item (DOC0001) from the original (DOC0001). It does NOT rename the group for any other items in the group.

In the above example, if there were multiple pages in DOC0001, page DOC0001 would no longer appear in that group and would appear under the group DOC0001A.

If you wish to rename an entire group, right click on the tree view and select Rename.
