Editing an Existing Infrastructure Need Entry

There are several ways of loading an existing infrastructure need entry into the form for further edits. You can access an entry through the list that comes up after clicking on 'Edit/View all'. You can also type the name of the infrastructure need into a blank form and then click on Save. Save will check for an existing entry with this name, and it will load this entry if it already exists. In the example, we typed in 'pollen monitoring network', which after a click on the 'Save' button, resulted in the form as shown.

For infrastructure needs, this approach is not practical since infrastructure needs often have long names. The same result could have been reached more easily by first bringing up the list of all infrastructure needs and then clicking on 'pollen monitoring network'.

Another way of populating a form with an existing entry is to perform a search with appropriate text string and then selecting the desired entry. In the example, we conducted a search for 'pollen' and limited this search to Infrastructure Needs, which brought up the list as shown. We can now click on the entry name to load the entry for 'pollen monitoring networks' into the form for further edits.
