The Manual
Populate the grid by using the other controls.
AllSites Checkbox
This will deactivate all currently active records and add a new record in which the Site
field will be set to "VHA".
Site Tree
Single-clicking on a VISN name will add that VISN as a new record to the grid. Single-clicking
on the '+' next to a VISN name will expand that VISN's site list but not add the VISN as a new
record. Single-clicking on a site name will add that site as a new record to the grid.
Site Field
There are 3 possible types of entry"
- SITE <sitecode>: access is granted to the site with the given site code.
- VISN <visn #>: access is granted to all sites in the given VISN.
- VHA: access is granted to every site in VHA.
Reason Field
No record will be saved to the database without a reason. To enter a reason use the Reasons
dropdown box and the Other textarea. Either select a reason from the dropdown, or select
Other from the dropdown and type in the reason in the Other textarea. Once this is done,
click the Reason link in the appropriate row of the grid.
Activation Date Field
This is written by the system when you create a new record.
Deactivation Date Field
You may deactivate a record by clicking the Deactivate link in the appropriate row of the grid.
The system will automatically deactivate records in two cases:
- You click the AllSites checkbox: all current records will be deactivated.
- You choose a VISN: all sites in that VISN will be deactivated.
Update Field
This may have the following values and behaviors (upon submitting the form):
- N: no update will occur for this record.
- U: the Reason field will be updated for this record.
- D: the Deactivate Date field will be updated for this record.
- I: this new record will be added to the database.
Submit Button
No records in the database will be altered until the form is submitted. So to cancel whatever
you have done, simply refrain from submitting the form.
