---+++ Editing Active Specimens
- To edit a specimen you must first locate its rack. From the Entered Racks page type in its Rack ID or click on a container to browse for it.
- Once you have found your rack click the Open button. A list of the specimens in the rack will be displayed.
<img style="position: relative; left: 20px; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 2px solid #000000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000000; clear: both;" src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/edit_rack_spec_rack_view.jpg" alt="Edit specimen rack view" title="Edit specimen rack view"> - To change the specimen ID for any one of these specimens, click on the Modify button next to its listing. A screen will be appear, much like the one shown before for editing Rack IDs, but here you change the Specimen ID of the given specimen.
<img style="position: relative; left: 20px; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 2px solid #000000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000000; clear: both;" src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/edit_rack_spec_modify_spec_main.jpg" alt="Modify specimen main screen" title="Modify specimen main screen"> - Make sure to save any changes by clicking Update Spec ID when you are finished, or Cancel to cancel any changes.
- Clicking the Update Spec ID button will display the confirmation screen.
<img style="position: relative; left: 20px; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 2px solid #000000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000000; clear: both;" src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/edit_rack_spec_modify_spec_confirm.jpg" alt="Modify specimen confirmation screen" title="Modify specimen confirmation screen"> - At this point you can attach a note to this modification event. Click the Add Note checkbox and the note text area will appear. Type the note into this area.
- Clicking Yes on this confirmation screen will apply the changes to the specimen ID and clicking No will cancel the operation.
