Update railcar sightings

1.	From the Home window, select the railcar for which you wish to update sightings.

2.	Change the date range as necessary using the Begin and End text boxes and click the Refresh button. Sightings for that time period will display (on the Sightings tab).

3.	Double-click on the sighting record or highlight the sighting record and click the Edit button. Make changes to the record and click the Save button.

NOTE: It is recommended that you enter a brief code (5 characters or less) in the Comments field to indicate what type of modification

was made to the record.

NOTE: Any modification to a sighting automatically causes the cycle that the sighting is a part of and any following cycles to be deleted. This

is done to ensure that the cycle(s) are recreated propertly. The next time that RMS runs the Create/Run Cycles process, these cycles will be

recreated including the updated information on the sighting(s).
