Editing SCADA Properties

You can edit the device or facility Properties in the dialog box that is displayed, if you have proper security authorization.

Note: Before editing any data groups, recognize that EFM (electronic flow measurement, e.g. FMS and FMS Legacy) data groups may have dependencies on non-EFM data groups. See EFM Data Items and the documents in the Remote Devices section for the specific EIE used by your device for more information about its EFM data groups, data group dependencies, and usage notes. Once you have verified the information, you can optionally perform edits to the device.

See the corresponding SCADA properties topic in the FMS Explorer section for more information.

See Remote Device Editors for more detailed information about SCADA device properties.

See Viewing Facility Attributes for more detailed information about SCADA facility properties.
