Overview of Standard Screens

Note
DPCTrack2 offers a “quick-typing” feature that enables you to insert a
selection from a drop-down list by typing the first few letters. Using this
feature is a convenient way to save time when entering data.
5.4 File Menu
When a standard screen is open, the File menu changes to offer you similar options to
that of the sub-category Toolbar shown in Figure 5.1 on the previous page. For example,
from the File menu on the Instrument screen you may select from the following choices:
“New Record”, “Copy Record”, “Save Record”, “Find Record”, “List Records”, “Show
Work History”, “Delete Record”, “Close Form” and “Exit DPCTrack2.
(Depending on the user’s access level, some options will be grayed out and not
accessible)
5.5 Edit Menu
When a standard screen is open, the Edit menu provides you with “Cut”, “Copy” and
“Paste” functions to be used either within the same record or between records. In
addition, this menu gives you the ability to modify the field labels on the particular screen
that is open (see Chapter 8 for details regarding “User Defined Labels”). There is an
option to “Check Requirements”, this will show any fields that still need to be populated
before the record can be Approved. This menu also contains two commands titled “Insert
Before Current Test Point” and “Delete Current Test Point”. Both of these are for use
within the Calibration Points tab of any screen that allows for entry of calibration
specifications. These will be discussed in more detail later in this manual. Note: If the
item has no calibration points these selections will be grayed out and not available. The
menu contains commands titled “Copy Current Test Point Group” which is available only
if the current record is currently displaying a test point group in the Calibration Points
tab. Finally, the “Load Test Point Group From Item” command gives another method of
adding a test point group. These final four items will be discussed in more detail later in
this manual.
5.6 Reports Menu
When a standard screen is open, the Reports menu provides you with the ability to print
and/or preview several different reports applicable to the particular record you are
currently working in. See Chapter 24 for more information.
