Editing the irrigation catalog
While default manufacturer product information cannot be directly edited, custom products can be added to the catalog and edited. Data modified from the Object Info palette can be added as a modified version of the default data.
Custom catalog data allows data to be specified generically without indicating a manufacturer, which is important for certain types of public projects.
If performance data has been edited in the Object Info palette, click Save In Catalog. Alternatively, while in the irrigation catalog, click Add, or select a current row and click Edit or Duplicate (default manufacturer’s data can be duplicated; you cannot modify it by clicking Edit from the irrigation catalog).
The Catalog Item Edit dialog box opens.
If the dialog box was accessed by clicking Add from the catalog, the parameters are blank.
If the dialog box was accessed from the Object Info palette or by editing or duplicating an existing row from the catalog, the selected object’s data is displayed, with “(modified)” appended to the Manufacturer, Series, and Model. This indicates that default catalog data from the manufacturer has been edited.
On the Data tab of the Catalog Item Edit dialog box, enter the product parameters. For some catalogs such as spray and rotor outlets, information is divided into manufacturer data and performance data. The performance data indicate how the product performs in various conditions. Click Add to create a row of performance data and then fill in the parameters below the table. Click Delete to remove the currently selected row of performance values.
Click OK to return to the catalog.
If required parameter values are missing from the new or edited product, an alert opens, describing the missing data, and the Catalog Item Edit dialog box reopens so that the required values can be added.
