Institution Editor
From ClothoWiki
Institution Editor is for creating, viewing, and editing Institution objects. All fields associated with a Institution are accessible from the Institution Editor.
As a viewer, Institution Editor launches on a Institution and shows all its fields. From the viewer GUI, you can modify the text of any of the Institution's fields. When you change a field, you are changing the data directly in the objects. However, this data will not be committed to the database until you click "Save Changes".
When you launch Institution Editor as a tool, you'll be shown a list of all available Institution objects. The first entry says "New Institution". If you choose "New Institution" you'll get the viewer gui with some example data. You should replace that data with the data for your new institution. If you choose one of the other Institution lines in the list, you'll get the viewer gui for that Institution.

Institution Editor Example
Let's enter your Institution's name. In the first pop up window (Collection window) choose New Institution and click okay. In our next pop up window (Input window) we entered Rutgers University and clicked okay. It will bring us to our Edit Institution window, where we can click under Rutgers University and enter the city of Rutgers University, which is New Brunswick. We continue to click under each entry to enter the state and country. Finally to save all the information, we click save changes. To make sure we saved everything appropriately let's go to our Error Reporter window and at the bottom of the window it should say "successful save of Institution" as highlighted above. If it does not display this, click save changes again and verify. Now we can close our window and our information has been now added.
