Using Dynamic Edit to Edit Equipment

Dynamic Edit (formerly known as Equipment Recall 2) is an enhanced and expanded combination of the Equipment Recall, Equipment Edit, and Cable Edit commands. It lists all equipment currently in the project database in an organized tree structure that can be browsed according to SYSNAME, or the Rack or Room in which the equipment resides. You can select from this list to recall an equipment item that has been previously created and entered into the database. You can also select specific equipment or cables and modify certain database values.
