The dialog box asks you whether you want to update the instructions with column default values. Select one of the following:

Yes

The method for the scouting run is updated with variable parameter values for the selected column, consisting of UV average time, pressure limit, flow rate, etc. These parameter values are added to the scouting variables on the Scouting tab. Note that the updated parameter values may differ from the values for the same variables in other scouting runs.

No

No changes are made. The method retains the parameter values corresponding to the column that were either originally selected during creation of the method, or included in an earlier version of the method on the Scouting tab for which the default values for that column were accepted.

Note: If the method contains a linear flow rate instruction, the user can keep the linear flow rate by selecting a check box in the dialog box.
