From the Advanced Selection tab, you may also create a new advanced query or modify
an existing query by choosing the New
or Modify buttons located to the right of the
Choose Existing Selection field. Both of these buttons will invoke the ADVANCED
QUERY screen. To modify an existing query, you must first select it from the Choose
Existing Selection field’s drop-down list and then click the Modify
button. (See Chapter
21 for information about creating or modifying advanced queries.)
It is important to note that due to the characteristics of their design or their intended use,
some standard reports cannot be run with the use of an advanced query. Below is a list of
all standard reports in DPCTrack2 that cannot be used with an advanced query:
Active Users Report Instrument Test Point Analysis Test Instrument Test Point
Analysis
Calibration Alert Report Instrument Test Point Trend Test Instrument Test Point
Trend
Company Configuration Loop Test Point Analysis Test Instrument Reverse
Traceability
Document Report Loop Test Point Trend User Lists
Events Due (This Company) System Options Active Users
Failed Calibrations Report Security Log Report
If a report cannot be used with an advanced query, then the Advanced Selection tab will
not be present.
23.2 Other Options Available on the Reports Menu
The Reports menu at the top of the Home Screen provides two additional options that are
very important when working with DPCTrack2’s reporting system.
23.2.1 Set Report Directory
Selecting “Set Report Directory” from the Reports menu invokes the SELECT
DIRECTORY screen (shown in Figure 23.3). This screen is used to specify the directory
in which your DPCTrack2 report files reside. When you initially install DPCTrack2, the
standard report files will automatically be located in the correct directory. Please note that
you should not change this default location unless you must have your reports reside in
another directory on your computer or on your network.
