Bulk Edit Parent and Child Cable Numbers

The cable numbers of child cables and their parent cables can be edited in bulk. Suffixes can be added to child cable numbers, and optionally to the numbers of their parent cables.

1. With the Cable Schedule grid open, select Bulk Update Child Cable No in the Actions section of the List Tools - Cable Schedule tab.

2. The Bulk Update Child Cable Numbers window is then displayed:

   

   The window lists all the parent cables in the grid. If a parent cable number and the numbers of its child cables are to be edited, check its Select checkbox.

3. If the suffix is to be added to parent cable number as well as the child numbers, check the appropriate Add Suffix To Parent checkbox.

4. If a delimiter is required between the numbers and the suffix, enter it in the Choose Delimiter To Suffix field.

5. Click OK.The windows then exits and the renumbering takes place.

6. If the Add Suffix To Parent checkbox was checked, the number of the parent cable will be suffixed with "1". The numbers of child cables will be the number of the parent cable suffixed with "2", "3" etc.

   If the checkbox was not checked, a suffix is not added. The first child cable will instead be the parent cable number suffixed with "1", and additional child cables suffixed with"2", "3" etc.
