About the Sample Records
DPC/TRACK includes a number of sample records intended to help you learn the
operations and features of the program. We will make use of the sample records in
the tutorial that follows. After you’re familiar with DPC/TRACK, you may want
to delete the sample records so as not to interfere with your “real” data. (The
sample records could potentially be included within your reports and data
analysis.) Instructions on deleting (and rebuilding) the sample records are
provided in Chapter 6, “Creating & Deleting.”
Tutorial: Learning the Basics
This tutorial addresses the most commonly used features of DPC/TRACK. The
examples comprising this tutorial are:
• Searching for Records and Sorting
• Interpreting Data
• Creating & Deleting Records
• Changing Data
These topics also serve as the basis for the chapters that follow. By design, any
level user may work through the first two sections of this tutorial. The later two
sections require Tester, Key User, or Admin security rights to complete, as noted
therein. Admin-specific tasks are discussed in Chapter 9, “System Maintenance.”
This tutorial employs the sample records that came with DPC/TRACK. After
working through this tutorial, the structure of the sample records will be modified.
Your Admin may rebuild the sample records so that future users may follow along
