This document describes how to modify the baseline information of an existing new [[Definitions#OperationPWL|Operation PWL]].

==Background==
InfoEx requires PWLs to be explicitly defined. [[Definitions#OperationPWL|Operation PWLs]] are defined by an operation and represents local PWLs in the snowpack. This allows PWLs to be tracked and offers opportunities for advanced queries. 

Operation PWLs are managed by operations, which have full control over the characteristics of these PWLs.

|[[File:CreateOperationPWL.png|300px|thumb|right|Fig. 1: Accessing the Operation PWL menu]] Click on the PWL menu in the header of the InfoEx application and select 'Operation PWL'(Fig. 1). This will get you to a page that lists of all of the Operation PWLs  that have been created by your operation. In addition to the general characteristics of the PWLs, the list also offers an overview of the number of associated observations and assessments.

|[[File:OperationPWLSettingFilled.png|300px|thumb|right|Fig. 2: Modifying the baseline information of an Operation PWL]] Click on the [[file:ButtonEdit.png]] button beneath the 'Operation PWL' title to open a popup window where you can edit the baseline information for your Operation PWL (Fig. 2).

The following baseline information is supported for Operation PWLs:
* '''Name'''<br/>A meaningful name for your new Operation PWL.
* '''Date'''<br/>The date your new Operation PWL was created or buried.
* '''Comment'''<br/>A descriptive comment about your new Operation PWL, if desired.
{{Note|This ''header'' comment is DIFFERENT from the ''detail'' comment accessed via the snowpack workflow module - it is the workflow detail comment that appears in reports|NoteWithImage}}
* '''Community PWL'''<br/>You may link your Operation PWL to a Community PWL (see [[Community PWLs]] for more information)
{{Note|Linking your Operation PWL to a Community PWL allows you to retain your local definition and description of the PWL while linking with the same PWL observed by other InfoEx operations|NoteWithImage}}
* '''Colour'''<br/>A default colour that will identify any avalanche problems associated with your new Operation PWL in the [[Hazard assessment module]].
