Can the system provide for the assignment of default calibration intervals to unique types of instruments (same models)?
Yes. When a Class is defined, default intervals as well as other default information may be specified. When a Category (Manufacturer + Model) is defined, the user selects the Class to which the Category belongs from the Field Finder to the right of the Class field. The user is asked if he wants to bring down the Class defaults (Yes or No). The user can also hit the button upon which the class label resides. This will cause the user to be asked if he wants to bring down the Class defaults (Yes or No). Finally, the user can check or uncheck the box to Enable Class Updates. If checked, any future changes to the Class defaults on the Class record to which this Category record belongs, will automatically update the default information on this Category record. This same logic and mechanism occurs between Category and Subcategory and finally between Subcategory and Item.
