Record a Data File
There are two file recording interfaces to choose from. These interfaces can be selected from the options under
Central. To open this window click on Tools and then Options. Under “File Storage App Interface” there are two
options to choose from. The “2.x Interface” allows a simple interface for recording files. The TOC Interface is
generally used with the clinical research customers as it involves fields such as patient ID, etc.
