Edit Variable

The process to edit a variable in a mix design is available through the Variables Tab of the Mix Design Details Tab. The process is identical to editing a variable for a mix design template.

To edit a variable in a mix design:

Search for and select a mix design from the drop-down menu.
Navigate to the Variables Tab.
Click on the variable to be edited in the Variables table. This will highlight the variable, indicating that it has been selected.
Click on the Edit Button above the Variables table.

OR
Right click on the Variable to be edited in the Variables table.
Select "Edit" in the context-sensitive menu.
The Edit Variable Window will appear.
- Edit desired field(s).
- Check the "Retrieve value from executed sample" box if desired. This will automatically populate the Value field with information from an executed sample test. Select a Test, Test Question, and Sample from the drop-down menus.
- Check the "Retrieve value from attached test" box if desired. This will automatically populate the Value field with information from a test attached to a mix design through the Mix Design Tests Tab. Select a Test and Test Question from the drop-down menus.
- Enter a value manually in the Value field, if necessary.
- Edit other information including checking boxes to indicate if the variable will be required or included in printed reports.
- Click on the Save Button.
Note that the variable's new values appear in the Variables table.

Administrators can manage the list of available variable names in the Codes Window. The master list of variable names available for use in mix designs is "Aggregate Batch Variable."
Users are prevented from saving changes to a system item to which changes have already been made. This prevents concurrency errors.
