11.1 Reminders
DPCTrack2 comes equipped with a reminder system, whereby overdue calibrations and
alerts will appear on the REMINDERS screen. There are many different types of
reminders that may appear in this screen ranging from Late Calibrations to Show
Incomplete Calibrations. The REMINDERS screen may be invoked manually by
selecting “View Reminders” from the Main Toolbar when the Home Screen is open.
However, depending on your User Group Reminder Options, it is more likely that the
REMINDERS screen will automatically appear at program start-up.
Figure 11.1
Access to the REMINDERS screen and what appears in that screen is determined at the
user group level (see Chapter 6). Some users may only see items awaiting approval or
finalization, while others will only see late calibrations. Basically, what appears in the
screen depends upon the user group(s) that you belong to and the Reminder Options of
those groups.
The REMINDERS screen can be seen in Figure 11.1. It contains a tree view of the
company and their reminder items, separated by the departments to which the reminders’
master records are currently associated with. Any reminder items whose master records
are not associated with a department will appear under the “N/A” group.
Within the tree, you may expand and collapse each reminder as needed. To view the
details of all of the reminders listed, click the Expand All
button. To condense the list,
click the Collapse All
button. To see the details of only one reminder at a time, click the
plus (+) sign to the left of the lines. To collapse the reminders, click the minus (-) sign.
You may also access the master record for each reminder, for example the master
instrument record for an overdue instrument calibration by double-clicking it on the
screen.
