About NetDoc's Wizards
NetDoc
offers a number of
wizards
that speed up the process of setting up and documenting
your infrastructure. Each wizard can be used to build several identifiers in the same location, so
you can default information that remains the same for all components being built at that time.
Infrastructure Setup Wizards
help you speed up the process of setting up your geographical
infrastructure.
Documentation Wizards
help you autonumber and autoname the following components:
•
Ports
•
Horizontal Links
•
Assets
•
Backbones
•
Termination Hardware
Recommendation:
Wizards should be used properly and carefully so nothing within your
documentation is altered in any manner. It’s a good idea to underestimate the number of
components needed and use the wizards to document in
small blocks of items
. By doing so, the
individuals documenting can verify all is being documented correctly in all areas of the
application as intended. Since the wizards don’t complete everything needed, by creating small
blocks of components at a time the user can go through the application quickly to complete the
needed documentation. See the warning below for additional reasons for these recommendations.
Warning:
Although several items can be built within seconds, the application has no global
delete capability. Given this, deletion still must be completed by going to each specific item and
deleting the items one by one. The above recommendations for using the wizards should be
reviewed to safeguard against any problems.
Infrastructure Setup Wizards
Infrastructure setup wizards streamline the process of setting up or adding to your infrastructure,
from the Company level down to Faceplates. They appear whenever you click the
Companies
or
Infrastructure
links in the
SETUP
menu on the Main Page. The infrastructure setup wizards
are designed to quickly build geographical locations with the least amount of data entering.
When you set up any component of your infrastructure, the
NetDoc
screen will display the
buttons
Add
,
Delete
, and
Wizard
. You can add a component one at time using the
Add
button,
or you can add multiple components of that type using the
Wizard
button.
