Result edit is grayed out

 

I difficulty arose recently when a result was marked as positive, but on further analysis several days later, it was shown to be a MISS

However we were unable to update the result, since the option to re-enter the revised result was grayed out.? Is there a procedure whereby the the result can be changed ?

Thanks - Tim
 


Hi Tim,

There is a period of time after the event when you can report and update the report in OW. I need to check what the period is (probably around 3 days). Is this the issue you are reporting?

If initially an 'Observed, report to follow' report is sent, then you can update the report any time in the future. Once updated you have 3 days to correct.

All this was put in place so people cannot acientally change a reported observation.

I can also update the report for you if you tell me the event and the report.

I'll think about how to improve this process so it is less annoying when you genuinely want to update the report after many days.

But the important question is: Is this the problem you are experiencing?

Hristo.

Hi Hristo,
Yes, this is the problem i am experiencing.? There is a delay of say three days, but then the OW result is fixed.? I ask on behave of an observer who was able to delete his position rather than leave the wrong tick mark colour.? The report sent to Planoccult is fine, and confirmed as a MISS.
?I have bcc'ed? the observer who could contact you off- group if he would like the report reinstated.

Here are the OW graphics with and without the marked position

Without:

With incorrect result

Many thanks

Tim
