5.  By default documents open in editing mode. However, if you're in read-only Select the upper tab next to "Help" and Select "Editing." By editing online, it ensures that other people can collaborate on the file with you simultaneously. If you edit in Excel, it will lock the file for editing for everyone else until you close it. All changes are automatically saved to documents on OneDrive, so there is no need to Select the save button. There will be previous versions kept of all the spreadsheets.

6. Please verify all information is correct. If you change any information, please change the font color on that cell to red. If you want to change the Replacement Summer, type an apostrophe in front of year (ex: '2016), and it will update the shading for easier viewing.

7. If you want to change the Replacement Computer for any line, simply delete the 1 from a column and put 1 in another column.  Pricing should update automatically.  If you do not want a computer replaced at all, delete the 1 from the Replacement Computer column and change the Replacement Summer to 'None.  If you want to replace a computer set to None, please change the Replacement Summer to the current year (ex: '2015) and add a 1 to the appropriate Computer Replacement column.  There is a notes field on the far right for anything important that needs to be shared.

8. The summary of costs are listed under Fiscal Year Cost Summary.  This will update automatically.

9. When you are done, you can Select your initials in the upper right corner. Then Select "Sign out." There is no need to save changes, as they are all saved automatically. 

Sign out when complete

 

10. Please email Zach Gloshen (gloshenz@uwgb.edu) when you are all done making changes.  This allows him to start collecting department inventories prior to the deadline so it can speed up the process.
