Updating a Port-Location Assignment
The procedure for updating a port-location assignment is similar to adding a port-
location assignment. The difference between the two procedures is how they are
presented to you. For example, if you already have port-locations assigned and you
enter an existing "port" value, each data field that you go through (port, location,
state, and description) displays the value currently assigned to the field.
To update a Port-Location assignment, simply update the fields with new values.
If you have updated a port-location assignment, you may want to
change its description to distinguish from the old assignment. Although
the old assignment will no longer exist in the system, a meaningful
description can often be a valuable quick reference guide.
