Deleting Test Results Records
The deletion of Test Results is not allowed. Instead, you may “exclude” a Test
Results record, thus removing it from your graphs and reports.
Excluding Test Results
For the purposes of quality assurance and data integrity, the deletion of Test
Results records is not allowed within DPC/TRACK. The only Test Results records
that may be deleted are the sample records that came with your program.
Instructions on deleting sample records may be found at the end of this chapter.
You can, however, exclude Test Results from your graphs and reports by selecting
the Excluded Record checkbox on a per-record basis. This checkbox is
automatically selected if the associated Tag ID or Test Equipment record is
deleted. The ability to change the setting within the Excluded Record checkbox
is restricted to those with Admin or Key User security rights.
We don’t need to work through a detailed example here since there’s really not
that much to it. Follow these simple steps to exclude a Test Results record:
1. Find the particular Test Results record you wish to exclude. (You may do this
either via the associated Tag ID or Test Equipment record, or via a Test
Results Quick Search. See Chapter 3, “Searching for Records.”)
2. Access the Additional Data or History page for the Test Results record.
3. Select the Excluded Record checkbox.
4. Select the Main Menu button to return to the Main Menu. (Depending upon
how you accessed the Test Results record, you may first have to select a Done
button.)
Until the Excluded Record checkbox is deselected, this Test Results record will
be omitted from your reports.
