DPCTrack2 also gives you the ability to require completion of standard and user defined
fields in each of five (5) different screens in the program in order to save, approve or
finalize a record. Completion of most fields in the MASTER INSTRUMENT RECORD,
LOOP RECORD and TEST INSTRUMENT RECORD screens, can be required in order
to approve a record of any of these types. Additionally, completion of fields in the
CALIBRATION screen can be required in order to finalize a record, while completion of
fields in the EQUIPMENT RECORD screen can be required in order to save a record.
The establishment of required fields is done through the REQUIRED FIELDS screen,
which is accessed by selecting “Required Fields” from the
Tools
menu in the Home
Screen. When you select this menu option an additional selection box will appear with
each of the five (5) different record types, “Instrument”, “Loop”, “Test Instrument”,
“Equipment” and “Calibration” for which fields may be made required. To select a screen
or record type to configure required fields for, left-click the one desired in the selection
box. The configuring of required fields for each record type must be done on an
individual basis.
