One of the properties of a project that makes its way from the OPT to
the SDM is the SBTYPE (scheduling block type). The OPT and the SDM use
different strings for the valid values (sorry) for this field. This is
the translation:
OPT SDM
=========== ============
SCIENCE OBSERVER
TEST EXPERT
OBSERVATORY OBSERVATORY
For official projects that are created from proposals, the projects
(really the individual program blocks thereof) are labeled as SCIENCE.
For unofficial projects created directly in the OPT the prog blocks are
labeled as TEST.
"Expert users" have the ability to change this value in the OPT. They
may do so by changing the Observation Type value on the Program Block
Details tab.
We introduced this property to the OPT's database with the update to
version 1.03 on 21-Apr. To initialize the column, all program blocks
that were part of test projects (a boolean on the Project Details tab)
were labeled TEST. All other program blocks were labeled as SCIENCE.
All expert users who constructed projects that they intended to have
labeled in the SDM as EXPERT or OBSERVATORY should examine their program
blocks in the OPT and make changes as necessary.
