Creating & Deleting Records
Creating Records
Adding records to your Tag ID database is simple. We’ll also take a look at
creating Test Results records in Examples 2.4 and 2.5. See also Chapter 6,
“Creating & Deleting.” The procedure for adding records via import is discussed
in Chapter 8, “Importing & Exporting.”
Example 2.4: Creating a Tag ID Record
Note
Key User or Admin security rights are required in order to work
through this example.
In this example, we’ll walk through one way to create a new Tag ID record. For
other examples, see Chapter 6, “Creating & Deleting.”
1. Via a Quick Search (see Example 2.1) or some other means, access the
Instrument View screen for a particular Tag ID record.
2. Click on the Change... button.
3. On the subsequent screen, select the Add... button to access the Add Tag IDs
screen.
4. Click within the Tag IDs to Add array, then click on the + button to add an
entry into this field.
5. On the subsequent screen, enter “MYTAGID1” (excluding the quotes) and
select OK. The Add Tag IDs screen reappears. Note that we could also
specify a Loop and/or Area field value. Values placed in these fields remain
until you change them, allowing you to assign multiple Tag IDs to a single
Loop or Area.
Now let’s enter a corresponding Serial Number value.
6. Click within the Serial Numbers to Add array, then click on the + button to
add an entry into this field.
7. On the subsequent screen, enter “54321” (excluding the quotes) and select
OK. The Add Tag IDs screen reappears.
8. Select the Create button, then select the OK button on the subsequent screen.
Select Done twice. The Instrument View screen is presented.
9. Select the Main Menu button to return to the Main Menu.
