Importing Procedures
In most cases, importing a previous version of a LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
application file is fast and easy.
However, there are some differences that may require you to make a choice or adapt the procedure
once it is converted.
In addition to converting a single procedure, you can use a batch process to convert multiple
procedures.
Format Differences in Earlier Versions
Note: These format differences apply only to procedures saved under LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
software versions prior to v3.0.
Format of energy source identifier: Initially sets the icon as the default way of representing an energy
source. The format of a converted procedure will automatically default to whatever default has been
set. You can also change the format after conversion. (To change the default itself, see
Chapter 7: Setting & Changing Energy Source Defaults on page 7-4).
Number of images in Short Form: With the addition of the Combined Form, it is no longer necessary
to try to accommodate slightly longer procedures with the Short Form. As a result, the Short Form now
supports only two images. Earlier versions permitted additional images on subsequent pages if the
procedure exceeded a single page. When you import a Short Form with more than two images, you
will be prompted to choose which of the two images to leave in.
Custom energy types: If you are importing a procedure that contains a custom energy type that you
added to the system defaults in v2.x, the converted procedure will keep that custom energy type.
However, the import process will not add the custom energy type to the system defaults. If you want
the custom energy type to be available for other procedures, you will need to add it to the defaults.
(See Chapter 7: Setting & Changing Energy Source Defaults on page 7-4).
Energy source legend: Version 1.0 included a static legend line identifying the energy source
abbreviations used on the procedure form. This area was eliminated in v2.x and is not present in the
templates either, so that element is discarded from procedures converted from v1.0.
“Control panel” label: Version 1.0 included a “control panel” image label, in addition to the energy
source labels supported in v2.x and v3.0. When you convert v1.0 procedures, these labels are
changed to custom text labels and remain on the image in the imported procedure.
