7.3 Data Entry
Before an item of media can be degaussed or crushed, various data fields must be filled out.
NOTE:
Not all data fields may be mandatory (e.g. they can be left blank), this depends upon the settings the supervisor has
made for the logger.
NOTE:
Not all data fields may be displayed. This depends upon the settings the supervisor has made for the logger.
In the example below, all the data fields are displayed and all have text completed:
NOTE:
When entering data, the 'Tab' key will cause the cursor to skip to the next data entry box.
In normal use the data in the 'Processing Company' panel and the 'Media Owner' panel is retained after each instance the
'DESTROY' button is clicked and media is destroyed. However, the data in the 'Media Information' panel is cleared every
time the 'DESTROY' button is clicked and media is destroyed.
The 'Clear' button in the 'Processing Company' panel and the 'Media Owner' panel can be used to clear all the entries in the
panel if required.
7.3.1 Bar Code Scanner
If
the bar code scanner has been installed, it can be used to enter bar code data such as serial numbers directly into the
relevant data entry box. So, if you wanted to read a bar code serial number into the 'Serial No' data entry box, first ensure
that the cursor is in the box (either click in the box with the mouse or use the 'Tab' key to move the cursor to the box)
Then point the Barcode Scanner at the
bar code and press the 'Read Trigger'
on the scanner. When the barcode scanner
has scanned the barcode the data will be automatically inserted in the box.
NOTE:
The barcode scanner can be used to enter data into any of the data entry boxes.
7.3.2 Media Type
The 'Media Type' box has a drop down list which is revealed by clicking on the down arrow on the right of the box.
Select the required 'Media Type' by clicking with the mouse on one of the entries (HDD or SSD).
NOTE:
All the information entered in the data boxes will be stored in the database media destruction record together with
machine details, the time and date of destruction and the destruction data returned from the machine.
