This scenario shows how the administrator can modify the temporary databases after generating a schedule to alleviate some of the Negative Impacts discussed in Section 1.4. In this scenario, it is assumed that a schedule has been generated and that the Temporary Databases have been populated.
To modify the Temporary Databases the administrator initially clicks on the button labeled "DATABASES" on the left of the UI. In response, the system displays the dialog box shown in Figure 2.5.1.1.

In response, the system displays the dialog box shown in Figure 2.5.1.2. Notice that the "Generate Schedule" button is disabled, because no modifications have been made.
