Create Cable Drums Manually

To create a drum manually, open the Cable Drum Schedule grid and click New from the Records section of the Home tab.

The Cable Drum Detail window is then displayed:

Enter a drum number, description.

Select a catalog cable by clicking the button in the Catalog No field.

The Select a Cable from Catalog window is then displayed.

Refer to Select Catalog Cable for further information. The drum length and other details are derived from the selected catalog cable.

Before cables can be assigned to the drum, it must first be saved.

Click Apply (or click OK to save and exit the window, if cable assignment is to take place later).

Once a drum has been saved, the View Cables button becomes available:

The Last Edit field displays the date and time when the item data was last edited. The user name of the individual that performed the edit is displayed in a tool-tip when the mouse cursor is hovered over the field.

Click the button in the field to display the Audit Manager, which will display a list of all the changes to the equipment data.
