Editing Editable Tags
To edit an editable tag type on an asset:
1. Open the Control Tool for the asset.
2. Select the editable tag type from the Tags... menu and then select Place Tag... or Instruct Place Tag... to open the Tags dialog box.
3. Select the tag that you wish to edit in the Tags pane table.
4. Click the Edit button. The editable fields will be enabled.
5. Edit the information that you wish to modify and click Save.
Note: Click the Cancel button to close the dialog box without saving changes.

Repredicting Upstream/Downstream
You can force the system to manually repredict a predicted outage either upstream or downstream from the current system predicted asset. This is typically done when a crew finds that the problem is not at the predicted asset.
• If the asset is supplied, the problem is actually one or more downstream outages.
• If the asset is not supplied, the problem will actually be upstream.
Clicking the Repredict Upstream button manually repredicts the outage to the next predictable upstream device. Clicking the Repredict Downstream button manually repredicts the outage to downstream devices based on outage prediction rules. When repredicting downstream, the system distributes the event to one or more devices. If a specific configuration rule (regroupAfterManualMoveDownstream) is disabled, then Repredict Downstream will manually repredict the outage to the next predictable downstream device(s) instead of using outage prediction rules. Once a predicted outage is manually repredicted upstream or downstream, it will be made stable (see “Working with Stable Predictions”). Specific configuration rules (movableAfterManualMove and stableAfterManualMove) can change whether the repredicted outages are made stable or non-movable.
Note: See “Using the Event Management Rules Tab” for information on how administrative users may set rules.
For example, a crew finds that a predicted service outage (indicated by the "PSO" symbol) at a customer point is not actually where the trouble is located. Using the Control Tool, you can repredict the outage upstream to a different valve. When you repredict the outage, the valve displays a PDO (predicted outage) symbol. The original predicted service outage displayed in one of Work Agenda's Trouble Events list windows changes to a predicted outage located at the valve.
Using the Look Ahead Dialog Box
The Look Ahead dialog box provides information concerning the results of performing a requested asset operation. The Look Ahead dialog box uses system status and topology tracing to "look ahead" of the requested operation and determine its consequences.
The Look Ahead dialog box displays whenever you attempt to perform an action that would result in the distribution system status or topology changing (that is, a switching operation). Once you have looked at key information in the Look Ahead dialog box, you may perform or cancel the operation.
