Editing a TMA Block

To edit a TMA block that you have added to Aperio eSlide Manager previously, you follow the same steps you do in adding the record. The primary differences are:

1. On the list or folder view page for TMA, you select an existing TMA block and click Open Data rather than selecting New.

2. In some fields on the TMA Block Details page, you'll be modifying existing data, whereas when you add a TMA block initially, all of the fields are blank.  If you did not enter data into some of the fields when you added the TMA block, you may do so while editing the TMA Block Details page.  (See Adding a New TMA Block for more information.)

3. On the TMA Block Details page, you can also do the following by scrolling down:

1. • Export TMA data

   • Extract TMA spot images

   • Add TMA Block attachments

   • Edit a TMA Map

   NOTE: When you edit the details or add a new data element, you can add or make changes in related data elements.  When you open a parent or grandparent record, for example, you can make changes in the child elements.  When you edit a child element, the parent element can be modified as well.
