Precautions for Using Data Editor

Data Editor is designed for use by someone very familiar with the MES database and the information stored in the MES database tables. It is not intended for most users of the MES system, as they should have access to MES Operator, MES Client, MES Web Portal, or a custom user interface making calls through the MES API. In many cases, Data Editor directly calls the underlying stored procedures to update, delete, or insert records in the underlying table, bypassing the MES middleware. Therefore, access to Data Editor should be limited only to those with a good understanding of the underlying data. Access to Data Editor is controlled by the May run Data Editor user privilege, which can be enabled or disabled by user group in MES Client.

In addition, note the following:

• Changes or deletions of data in Data Editor are permanently saved after the Save button is clicked in the corresponding dialog box. There are no rollback capabilities for the data in Data Editor.

• All data modified or inserted using the Data Editor must fulfill all MES Business Rules requirements.
