Editing an Interface

As with every entity documented in the registry, Interfaces have their lifecycles. Through time it may be necessary to update the name, description or other recorded interface properties.

To Edit an Interface...

  1. Log in if you have not already done so.

  2. Click on the Publish tab to bring up the Publish view.

  3. In the left side navigation pane click the Interfaces node. This will load a list of all Interface records published under your profile

  4. Click the Edit Icon for the interface you wish to edit. The Edit Icon is the one that looks like a pencil and pad of paper at the end of the record.

  5. Step through the Edit Interface Process

    1. Update the Name, Description, or Overview URL as needed.

    2. Click the Next > button.

    3. Update any of the following properties.

      • Usage - a short string whose meaning is reserved for the User or Registry Administrator to define.

      • Status - establishes the usefulness and support guaranteed for this interface.

      • Compliance - indicates whether the interface complies with one of the Web Service Interoperability versions.

  6. Click the Finish button. A message that the interface has been republished will appear. Click the link formed by the interface's name to inspect the newly published details.
