Edit digital states

Before you can edit digital states, you need to Retrieve selected digital states.

After you retrieve digital state sets and digital states into Microsoft Excel with PI Builder, you can edit the digital state sets and digital states and then publish those changes to Data Archive.

1. If necessary, add additional columns that correspond to values that you want to change and click Retrieve to retrieve current values.

   See Set column headers in a worksheet.

2. Optional: Clear all values from the Selected(x) column in the worksheet.

   You want to mark only the rows that contain edits with an X. Clearing the column before you begin can help you track which rows changed.

3. Edit any values that you want to change.

   To change the digital state set name or digital state name, include the NewName column and enter the new name in that column.

4. Set the Selected(x) column to X for any row where you edited a value.

5. Publish the changes to Data Archive:

   1. On the PI Builder tab, click Publish to open the Publish Options window.

   2. From the Edit Mode list, select Edit Only to guard against mistakenly creating new objects.

   3. Click OK to publish the changes to Data Archive.

      If any of the selected objects do not already exist, PI Builder generates an error.
