→First time you edit a line

==== First time you edit a line ==== | ==== First time you edit a line ==== | ||
*The first time you bring up the edit modal, it shows all the fields with exactly the same content as was in the line you selected. | |||
*All the fields have the content converted to strings for display purposes. This allows the display of the contents whether a decimal point or a decimal comma is used for those fields where decimal places are permitted | |||
*A few fields are read only: | |||
*#The line number cannot be changed as this is part of how the MX engine recognises the line when the edit is saved and sent back via an application programming interface. | |||
*#The date and time cannot be changed as they record when the readings were made. This editor is not designed to deal with clock problems, the time the line was created was taken from system time so there should not be a problem | |||
*#The rain counter cannot be amended. It is only relevant when MX is actually processing the meteorological day with the rain counter, and you are not advised to change the rain counter for the current day using this web page. Instead got to '''Edit''' tab and choose ''Today's rain'' and that will edit the rain counter correctly. | |||
*Some fields show a '''‡''' which links to a footnote at the bottom of the fields. | |||
**These are source fields, and were listed earlier. | |||
*Some fields have a line below the field box saying something like:<tt>Derived: heat index=12.1 (humidex=7.4)</tt> | |||
