Deleting Test Equipment Records
With your ability to edit Test Equipment data, you probably won’t have too many
occasions where you actually need to delete a Test Equipment record. Nonetheless,
DPC/TRACK allows you to do so.
Example 6.4: Deleting a Test Equipment Record
In this example, we will walk through the procedure of deleting the “Fluke”
sample Test Equipment record. After working through this example, you may want
to have the Admin rebuild the sample records to ensure that other personnel have
access to the correct sample records.
1. Select the Test Equipment button on the Main Menu to access the Quick
Search screen.
2. Within the Manufacturer field, type “Fluke” (excluding the quotes).
3. If we were to select the Search button, our results would reflect all Test
Equipment records whose Manufacturer field included our criteria of
“Fluke”. To further ensure that we are working with the sample record only,
we’ll specify another criteria. Type “SAMPLE” (excluding the quotes) within
the Serial Number field. Together, these two pieces of information uniquely
identify a Test Equipment record.
4. Select the Search button. The Test Equipment screen appears.
5. Select the Delete button. You are given one opportunity to back out of the
deletion process. Select Yes to delete the Test Equipment record. (Selecting
the No button returns you to the previous screen.)
Note that any associated Test Results records (pertaining to recertification or
rechecks) are not deleted when a Test Equipment record is deleted. And, in fact, if
a new Test Equipment record is added whose Manufacturer and Serial
Number fields match those of the “orphaned” Test Results, these Test Results
records will be related to the new Test Equipment record.
