Edit a custom order entry view when you need to change the data or format of the data displayed in the view.
Custom order entry views are version-controlled. After you update a view, the system opens the view record to your user ID. You can then accept, revise, or undo your changes. Once you are satisfied with the changes you made, close the view record. The system maintains a log of each new version of the view and who made the changes.
To edit an order entry view element:
From the Tools menu, select Order View Element Maint to display the Order Entry View Element Maintenance window.
In the View Element ID field, enter the ID of the view element to edit.
Edit the view elements as needed.
See Creating Order Entry View Elements for field descriptions.
Save the updated element and exit the window.
The system displays the Program Change Log Entry window, whichshows the name of the file and view updated, along with your user ID, the current date and time, and the view's version number incremented by one.
Complete the window as follows:
In the Comment field, enter a comment describing the changes you made.
In the Activity Log # field, enter the number of the tracker that prompted the change.
If necessary, pressShift-F4 and create a tracker assigned to your user ID.
Exit this window and return to the User Defined Order Entry Views window.
Though not displayed, the updated order entry view is now open to your user ID. Other users can view the record, but they cannot edit the record until you close it.

The window shows that it is open to your user ID and displays the new version number followed by a modification number. Each time you modify the view while it is open to your user ID, the system increments the modification number.

Make additional changes to the displayed record. Save the record and then return to step 6.
The system displays a blank Order Entry View Maintenance window; it does not display the Program Change Log Entry window again. When you display the updated view again, note that the modification number following the version number is incremented by one. This indicates the number of modifications you have made to this view while it has been open to your user ID.
If you are satisfied and finished with the changes you made, click Close.
The system releases the displayed view from its open status and makes an entry in the change log for this new version of the view.
If you are not satisfied with the changes you made, click Undo. Then return to step 6.
