Modify Single Equipment

The Modify Single Equipment function is used to change a single equipment unit.

Note: Equipment units that are in “conflict” require solution of all conflicts when making changes. Making changes to one element can cause conflicts in another related element. Read through all of the errors, as they can be related to a single input field. Unresolved conflicts can result in Umler enforcing AAR business rules against the equipment. Refer to the Umler Data Specification Manual for acceptable values for fields and assistance in resolving conflicts, as well as descriptions of conflict-related business rules.
