Modify an existing WIND Document

These are the typical steps to follow when you want to edit (modify) a WIND document.

1. Edit the Document

Select the document to edit (its name will be displayed against a grey background) and right-click anywhere on the highlighted line, then select the Edit Entity command from the contextual menu:

The selected document is now marked with a padlock icon and its named printed in bold green, indicating to you (and to other WIND users) that this document is being protected from someone else's alteration:

Note: you can release a locked document by one of the following ways:

Select the Undo my changes command from the contextual menu obtained by a right-click on the document name
Publish the changes made

2. Open the Document

Opening a document is very simple: just double-click on its name or icon. You may alternatively right-click on its name or icon and select the View entity command from the contextual menu.

Note: You can edit an already opened document from its contextual menu, as above explained, without having to close it first.

This opens a document window featuring all the information and data related to the selected document.

3. Edit the Document

Depending on its type, a document window may be simple or very complex, offering various fields to fill in and options to select, grouped in a varying number of tabs.

The Title, Display Period, Summary, Description, Keywords etc. are common to most documents - and obviously less generic fields such as Location, ACC, Criticality, Conditions, OffLoad Areas, Applicability, ... are attached to very specific WIND documents.

Please refer to the sections below to get more details on how precisely use the WIND editing facilities:

The File Resources section is also of interest to you, as it explains how to upload, download and manage files (images and other formats) into the WIND system to allow the documents to link to them.

4. Save the Document
