Optional information

If you click the CABLE column of a connected wire in Device View, you will be taken to a "Wire Info" screen with more information about that wire: Label, Color, Type, Multiconductor, Status, Connection Reference and Hash number.

We will cover the last four in section "Advanced Data Entry".

Clicking the [Edit] button will take you to an "Edit Cable" form where you will be able to add or change optional information. Notice that the actual wire number (fields Prefix and Number) can not be changed.

Label refers to an optional label (apart from the wire number itself) the wire could bear, for example "Roof CAM".

Color is the physical wire color. For instance, most AES wires in our facility are color orange.

The Type is picked from a list box. It could be "Coax", "Ethernet", etc.

Again, this information is optional, but it may prove useful if present.
