12.1 Standard Lists
Many of the standard fields in DPCTrack2 have drop-down lists that are user defined.
This gives you the ability to customize many areas of the program to meet your needs.
All of the standard user defined lists can be accessed from the
Lists
menu at the top of
the HOME SCREEN.
You will find thirteen (13) list screen options on the
Lists
menu: “Calibration
Frequency”, “Status”, “Signal Type”, “Manufacturer”, “Locations”, “Department”,
“Vendors”, “Instrument Type”, “Responsible Technician”, “Calibration Type”,
“Classification”, “Document Type”, and “Equipment Type”. Each of these screens allows
you to enter selections that will appear on those fields’ drop-down lists throughout the
program.
12.2 List Screens
To enter list information, click each option with your mouse. Every list type has its own
screen in which you may add, modify or delete entries on its drop-down list. (If a list
screen does not contain a Delete button, then go to the
File
menu while the screen is open
and select “Delete Record”.)
Once a list entry has been assigned to a record in the system, it cannot be deleted. For
example, if you have created a status called “In Service” and it has been assigned to at
least one Instrument, Loop, Equipment or Test Instrument record you will not be able to
delete it from your database.

12.2.1 Calibration Frequency
This 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. There are several options with regard to the setup of a frequency that are outlined
and discussed in detail below. The Calibration Frequency title is limited to 40 characters.
