Process Data Control COMPASS-EI User Manual page 56

The New York Emission Inventory report form includes a narrative description of the Process.
Users may store the process description text either in a separate document file that will be printed
separately or in the WINCEIS database. If the user plans to store process description text for a
Process in the WINCEIS database, it should be entered as a Comment for one of the Sources that
are included in that Process. By convention, the form printing program searches for a Comment
in the Source that would appear first in a sorted list of all Sources that belong to the Process.
Thus, users should first determine which Source would appear first in an alphanumerically sorted
list of all Sources that belong to the process, and then enter the Comment for that Source.
Each Comment for a Source, Point, or Control Device in WINCEIS is year-specific. Thus, for
the same Source, a different Comment may be stored for the Year 2006 than was stored for the
Year 2005. The directions for adding or changing a Comment for a Source are as follows:
1. Edit the Source by double-clicking on it in the Sources window of the main screen, and
then, either click on the Edit command button that appears on the lower part of the List
Screen, or double-click on the Source in the List Screen.
2. From the Detail screen, right-click to bring up the Comment data entry window.
3. Enter/revise Comments in the data entry window, and then, click Save and Close.
