Fluke 750SW User Manual page 223

Document ID and Revision Number are necessary for saving a new record. You
will be warned by the system if you have not completed all the fields required to
save a particular record.
Q. I attempted to set up a chronological numbering system for my instruments, but
the order is still incorrect. What did I do wrong?
A. If you have decided to set up a chronological numbering system for the items in
your database, do not begin with the number "1", instead begin with "01" or
"001" depending on the number of records that you plan to enter in the system
for that record type. This will insure that your entries will remain in the order that
you intend.
Q. What is the Copy Record button for?
A. If you are entering many Instruments, Loops or Test Instruments of the same
make, model number, description, etc., utilize the Copy Record button (available
on the toolbar of each of those screens) so that you only have to enter a new ID,
serial number (if applicable) and calibration dates. Please note though that
copying an Instrument record does not copy its association with Loop records,
also copying a Loop will not copy the "Instruments That Make Up This Loop"
into the newly created Loop.
Q. Are there any typing short cut features in DPCTrack2?
A. Yes. All date fields throughout the system have "Hot Keys". Type the following
letters or symbols to insert these dates if on the System Option screen you have
chosen one of the following date formats, "mm/dd/yyyy" or "dd/mm/yyyy"
