Adding a Pipeline Information Record

Use the Information grid in Edit ROW Detail to add an information record for a pipeline selected in the Select ROWs window. Adding an information record allows you to maintain history records when important permanent information changes, such as when a pipeline is taken out of service or is sold to another business.

To add a pipeline information record, follow these steps:

1	Click the Select ROWs button to open the Select ROWs window (Figure 4-12).

2	Select one or more pipeline segments you want to work with by clicking the check box for each pipeline segment. Click Save to close the window.

Note: A check mark inside a check box indicates a selection. To clear a selection, click the check box again to remove the check mark. A shaded check box indicates selection of some, not all, child folders, ROWs, and pipelines.
