How do I change module assignments?

 

To change the site that is assigned to a module you will first have to open the site management window in QCS by:

1. Starting QCS and logging in.
2. Editing the contract that you wish to change module assignments.
3. Open the "Import / Export | QCS" module.
4. In the large gray area to the right of the white panel you will see, in the upper left corner, a check box titled Will QCS be used at remote sites?. Make sure that it is checked. Once it is checked you will see a button labeled [QCS Sites]. Click on this button to open the QCS Sites window.

The QCS Sites window will display all of the modules in QCS and the current site assignment for each of the modules. If you are a master site you will also see the buttons [Add], [Edit], and [Delete] for use in managing remote sites. Also if you are the master site you can change the ownership of any module regardless of who owns that module. A remote site can only change the ownership of a module that is currently assigned to them. However it is important for the master site to realize that changing the ownership of a module that is not assigned to them will have the effect of "trapping" data in the site where the module was taken from even if the module was returned to them on a later date. This is avoided by having the remote site change the ownership to the desired site.

To change the ownership of a module perform the following steps:

1. Locate the module within the list of modules being displayed.
2. Along the right side of the module will be a button labeled [...]. By clicking on that button you will be presented with a series of windows that will allow you to change the assignment.

Modules assigned to RMS cannot be reassigned.

Once you perform an export to QCS or RMS the assignment will be effective. Until that time you can change the assignment. When a master site changes the ownership of a module currently assigned to another site the change will be effective when closing the QCS Sites window.
