To indicate whether a history of the modifications must be maintained

Enter the following.

Modification Option

Select “Correct” or “Update” from the drop-down list box.

§ If you select “Correct”, the history of modifications is not stored by the system. The record is merely corrected, and the system treats the modification date of the record to be the same as “Effective Date“ you specified when you created the record

§ “Update”, the system stores the history of modifications, by inserting a new record to track each change to the record. The previous record is internally closed. When you select “Update”, you must also enter the date from which the changes must become effective.

New Effective From

If the edit option you chose is “Update”, specify the date from which the current modification will be in effect. The system maintains the “Effective To Date” of the previous record to be one day less than the “New Effective From” date.

Select the “Previous” pushbutton beside the “Data Access History” field, to view the previous changes, if any, made to the selected scale.

If no previous record exists, the system will display the current record.

Note: When you click “Previous” pushbutton, the system will display the previous record in the database, provided you had chosen “Update” in the “Edit Option” drop-down list box.

Select the “Next” pushbutton in the “Access Data History” field, to view the next change of the scale values.
Select the “Save” pushbutton to save the details.
