Rev. Date: 16-Apr-15
This function in the Operator Workspace on the CDS5 allows an operator list
to be imported from a text file. To access this function, click on Main  Open
Administration Function  Operator from the main menu to open the Operator
Workspace. Select Operator  Import List... from the main menu to open the
Import Operator List window. This window is used to describe the format of the
text file containing the list to be imported into the CDS.
1. Under Fields in text file:, use the mouse to drag and drop the field
names so they match the order in which the fields appear in the text file
containing the list to be imported. If a field does not appear in the text
file, drag it to the Available fields: list. If the text file contains a field
that should be ignored, drag a SkipField(x) field to the Fields in text
file: list to mark where that field appears.
2. Fields in the text file containing the list to be imported must be
separated by a comma or other delimiter character. Specify the
separator in the Delimiter character box.
3. If a qualifier character is used to enclose the data contained in each
the field in the text file containing the list to be imported, select this
character from the Text qualifier: list.
4. If the first line of the text file is a header line listing the names of the
fields in the text file containing the list to be imported, click Skip first
line of file (file contains headers). The import function cannot process
header lines.
5. If all operators in the text file containing the list to be imported are
to be certified for one method, click Assume a test method for all
operators and select i-STAT for cartridge testing or Precision PCx for
the MediSense Precision PCx or PCx Plus Glucose Strip testing on the
i-STAT1 Analyzer. If this option is selected, the text file does not need to
contain a Method field. If this option is selected and the text file does
contain a Method field, its contents will be ignored
6. If all operators will be certified from the same date, click on Assume a
certification start date for all operators and enter the start date. If
this option is selected, the text file does not need to contain a Certified
from field. If this option is selected and the text file does contain a
Certified from field, its contents will be ignored.
