Q.
If I modify an existing master record, will my changes affect calibration records
previously entered for that item?
A.
Making modifications to an existing master Instrument, Loop or Test Instrument
record will not affect the calibration records previously entered for that item.
Since master records are in essence, templates to be used in the addition of
calibration records, any modifications made to one of these will only be seen
when the user enters a new calibration record for that item.
Q.
Why am I not able to use an advanced query to run some of the standard reports
in the system?
A.
Due to the characteristics of their design or their intended use, some standard

Q.
How do I set up calibration frequencies correctly?
A.
The “Calibration Frequency” list option allows you to define and set up specific
frequencies that can be applied to all items that get calibrated. Calibration
frequencies help the program calculate due dates for item calibrations. Common
ones would be “Yearly”, “Semi-annually”, “Quarterly”, etc. Selecting the
Keep
On End of Month
box for a frequency will instruct the system, when calculating a
due date based upon the frequency, to always use the last day of the month that
the item will be due. In addition, the
Allow system to Roll Dates Forward if
Actual Event Date is within [#] Days of Scheduled Event Date
field allows you to
declare exactly how soon before the due date, or a calibration can be successfully
completed and still have the next due date automatically roll forward. Any
numeric value may be entered into this field, and the number used can be
different for every calibration frequency entered into the database.
