Construction Attributes |

Begin New Construction Attribute Record
Point to the Quick Tab Asset Details link and in the drop-down menu click the Facilities List
link. Click the Show Entities link and then the [Entity Name] under the appropriate Facility.
Then click the Useful Shortcuts Construction link. If there are no Construction Attributes
already entered for this Entity, a blank Assets - Construction Attributes page will be
presented. (If this is not the Entity-s first Record, then the most recent will be presented and
you should review whether you want to just edit the Record or actually end and replace it.
Then proceed by following the appropriate instructions under one of the two immediately
following headings.)
Complete the subsequent blank information fields, using the Ghost-Over advice on each
heading or referring to Appendix H as required, and then click any one of the Save Changes
buttons. (For your convenience, to avoid scrolling far away from where you are working, any
one of these buttons saves the entire page of changes and not just those in the adjacent box.)
If construction diversity requires it, there are options to create more than one configuration for
the Attributes covered in the boxes for Wall, Roof, Floor and Window by clicking the Add
another [Attribute Type] configuration button at the bottom of the box.
The Record Start has a default setting of the current date but can and should be changed to
cover either when the Entity was constructed or at least the earliest time for which you expect
to have entered Consumption data and when completing such a blank Record, there is a
reminder message beside the Record End about this. That message will remain, even after
clicking a Save Changes button. However, on coming back after departing from that screen,
the message will have been replaced by the End Construction Record button which signifies it
is the current existing Record.
Edit Construction Attribute Record
Note: Editing a record in this way enables you to complete or correct existing information in
the current Record without changing its Start Date. (If a new Start Date is required, then use
the process for ending and replacing a Record described immediately below.)
Point to the Quick Tab Asset Details link and in the drop-down menu click the Facilities List
link. Click the Show Entities link and then the [Entity Name] under the appropriate Facility.
Then click the Useful Shortcuts Construction link. The most recent Record will be presented.
Amend the information fields as required and click one of the Save Changes buttons. (For
your convenience, to avoid scrolling away from where you are working, any one of these
buttons saves the entire page of changes and not just those in the adjacent box.) On clicking
the Save Changes button, a dialogue box will appear seeking confirmation that your intention
is to edit rather than to end and replace the Record.
End and Replace Construction Attribute Record
Note: Refer to the initial Note under the heading immediately above to check against the
distinction between your intentions and editing. If necessary also see the third paragraph in
the INPUT SECTION under the Assets - Construction Attributes screen heading on page
7.
Point to the Quick Tab Asset Details link and in the drop-down menu click the Facilities List
link. Click the Show Entities link and then the [Entity Name] under the appropriate Facility.
Then click the Useful Shortcuts Construction link. Click the End Construction Record button
at the bottom of the top box and a three point dialogue box will appear advising you firstly,
that if this move is a mistake you should proceed to the next page but then exit without saving
anything, secondly, that all of the old Attribute details in the Record to be ended have been
rolled over as a starting point for the new one, and thirdly, that setting and then saving a new
Record Start date will automatically set the Record End date for the old one.
On clicking OK in the dialogue box, a new Construction Attributes page will appear with the
old data in it so that you can amend the information fields as required and click one of the
Save Changes buttons. (For your convenience, to avoid scrolling away from where you are
working, any one of these buttons saves the entire page of changes and not just those in the
adjacent box.) Because the Record Start date default setting is the same as for the old
Record there is a reminder message beside the Record End heading to set the required start
date because it also determines the Record End for the old one. That reminder message will
remain, even after clicking a Save Changes button. However, on coming back after departing
from that screen, the message will have been replaced by the End Construction Record
button which signifies it is the current existing Record.
Finally, it is important to remember that if you have made Construction Attributes changes
under various Area headings (such as Roof, Wall, Floor etc), it probably means that you are
redefining the areas to be included in this Entity. This could well require corresponding
changes to be made in the Indicator Data or Utilisation Attributes and possibly in both
Attributes sets of one or more other Entities in the same Facility.
