Computer-supported method for processing an examination step

A computer-supported method for processing an examination step for operation of a magnetic resonance apparatus, said method comprising:

• in a memory, storing a plurality of configuration files that each contain a configuration of a magnetic resonance apparatus, for operation of that magnetic resonance apparatus, comprising parameters that can be set for obtaining image data with that magnetic resonance apparatus, and permitted ranges of values of said parameters;
• via an interface in communication with a processor, receiving a selection entry that causes different configuration files, which describe different configurations of respective magnetic resonance apparatuses, to be presented at said interface, and to thereafter receive a further selection parameter that selects one of said configuration files and causes the selected configuration file to be shown at said interface;
• via said interface, allowing change inputs to be made into an editor in communication with the interface and in communication with the processor that change an examination step in the selected configuration file, and, in response to those changed inputs, creating a changed examination step in said editor;
• and
• making the changed examination step available via said interface from said editor.
