19.3.6.4 Require Reason For Failure On A Failed Calibration
This is an option that when selected will not allow you to save a failed calibration record
unless the
Reason for Failure
field has been completed. If this check box was marked in
the COMPANY RECORD
screen, (see Chapter 9) then upon attempting to save a failed
calibration without this field filled in, a message will appear on the screen instructing you
that you cannot proceed with the save until a
Reason for Failure
is documented.
19.3.6.5 Allow The User To Finalize Incomplete Calibrations
This is an option that when selected will allow “Incomplete” calibrations records (ones
whose
Incomplete
circle is marked) to be finalized. If this check box was not marked in
the COMPANY RECORD screen, (see Chapter 9) then the
Finalized
box will be grayed
out on any calibration marked as incomplete. Once the
Pass
or
Fail
circle is marked, the
Finalized
box will become accessible again. If this check was marked in the COMPANY
RECORD screen, then the
Finalized
box will always be available regardless of the circle
selected.
19.3.6.6 Only Show Active Test Instruments
This is an option that if selected on the Company screen, (see Chapter 9) will restrict the
display of Test Instruments in the CALIBRATION screen to only those Test Instruments
that are currently assigned an “active” status (on whose record has the
Show items with
this status on calibration scheduling reports
box marked). All Test Instruments in the
System that are not assigned an “active” status or if their status is left blank will not be
displayed on the screen and therefore will not be available for assignment to a calibration
record.
19.3.6.7 [Allow, Warn, or Restrict] On Use Of An Unapproved Test Instrument
This is a setting that is used to manage the selection of approved and unapproved Test
Instruments in the CALIBRATION screen. If “Allow” was chosen for this field, from the
Company screen, (see Chapter 9) then users will be able to assign unapproved Test
Instruments to calibration records without any warning message appearing on the screen.
If “Restrict” was selected for this field then any unapproved Test Instruments will not
even be listed in the
Available Test Instruments
box, regardless of their current status.
Finally, if “Warn” was selected, than when a user attempts to select an unapproved Test
Instrument to be moved to the
Test Instruments Used in Calibration
box, a message will
appear on the screen warning them that they have chosen a currently unapproved test
standard.
19.3.7 Entering Calibrations in Multi-Mode
DPCTrack2 provides you with the ability to add multiple calibrations at once without
having to save each one before moving onto the next. This is done by selecting “Turn on
Multi-Mode” from the
Multi-Mode
menu at the top of the
Calibration
screen. When this
method of record entry is selected, the top of the
Calibration
screen will then hold the
IDs of each calibration in progress and the advanced query section and toggle buttons
will disappear. (See Figure 19.5).
To select multiple items to work on at the same time, initiate each calibration record just
as you would normally by clicking the “Add New Record” button, selecting the
appropriate
Item Type
and entering the item’s ID. As each new calibration is started, it
will be posted at the top of the screen in the toolbar. You may also select calibration
records that have already been saved to view and/or work with in “Multi-Mode”. To add
existing calibrations to your current group, click the “List Records” button and double-
click the desired calibrations one by one from the list.
