Alternate Unit Identifier Audit Log

Provides information about changes that have occurred to the information about the Alternate Unit Identifiers associated with a process at a facility site. It provides time-stamped values of data of the alternate identifier, who made the changes, and what organization that person belongs. Please see the Alternate Unit Identifier column listing if you need any descriptions of the fields presented.

Adding Alternate Unit Identifier Records


If you have been authorized to update information for your agency, you will see an Add Alternate Identifier link in upper-right corner of the Alternate Unit Identifiers accordion.

Clicking on this link will open a blank form that will allow you to create a new Alternate Unit Identifier for the process record by populating the fields.

Note that the fields have a red “starburst” indicator next to them indicating that they are required fields. You will not be able to successfully save the information to the data base without values populated in these fields. EIS will evaluate the information provided. If there are any issues, errors will be displayed at the top of the form.

Editing Emissions Unit Alternate Identifier Records


If you have been authorized to update information for your agency and the facility inventory window is open, you will see an additional link available at the top right corner of the View Emission Unit Alternate Identifier page:

Clicking on the “Edit Alternate Identifier” link will open a form that will allow you to make changes to the information. Once all necessary fields have been populated, click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the form.

Clicking on the “Undo” button will clear the form of all entries and leave you on the “Edit Emission Unit Alternate Identifier” page. Clicking on the “Cancel” button will not save any of the information that you have filled out, and you will be taken back to the Emissions Unit Detail page.
