9.2.3.11 Default Values
9.2.3.11.1 Stay On Schedule
This default value affects Instrument, Loop and Test Instrument records. Even though
you may activate this feature here, the check box also exists (Labeled
Keep On Schedule)
in the MASTER INSTRUMENT, LOOP and TEST INSTRUMENT screens. Therefore,
you can override it as needed, in those areas of the program. For more information see
Chapter 15.
9.2.3.11.2 Default Input Resolution
This is a default value that determines the number of decimal places that will
automatically appear on the
Calibration Points
tab for
input
values on new Instrument,
Loop and Test Instrument records within this Company. You may select any value from
the field’s drop-down list. Of course, not all of your Instrumentation will require the same
number of decimal places for their input values, but if a large portion of your items
require 3 decimal places (.001), then it makes sense to make this a company default for
all records input values, this will save you keystrokes later.
Once this default value has been entered and saved on this screen, it will affect all new
entries made to the company from that point on. Records entered prior to the
establishment of this default value will not be affected by the change. This field also
exists in the MASTER INSTRUMENT, LOOP and TEST INSTRUMENT screens,
therefore, you may override the default on an individual item basis.
9.2.3.11.3 Default Spec Resolution
This is a default value that determines the number of decimal places that will
automatically appear in the calibration specification grids for Instrument, Loop, and Test
Instrument records. You may delete or change it by typing over the existing value. For
example, selecting “0.001” in this box will instruct the system to round all numeric
values (input, output values, etc.) to “.001”. (8 is the maximum number of decimal places
DPCTrack2 is capable of.) Keep in mind, however that this field also exists in the
MASTER INSTRUMENT, LOOP and TEST INSTRUMENT screens, therefore, you
may override the default on an individual item basis.
9.2.3.12 Statuses
Statuses in DPCTrack2 serve a very important function in managing work flow and
tagging items or work that is pending, completed, or failed. The
Statuses
, when utilized,
assist the system in determining when items or work should appear in the REMINDERS
screen or on scheduling reports like “Events Due” or “Calibration Worksheets”. In
addition, when the
Calibration Passed Status
and
Calibration Failed Status
are used, the
system can automatically change an item’s status to match its calibration result, which in
turn may generate an alert.
Statuses may be added to each field’s drop-down list by either selecting “Status” from the
Lists
menu or clicking the New button next to any of the status fields. When you enter a
new status into the system you must decide whether the status will be an
Active
status or
not.
