How do I import a report into GAGEtrak?

Reports are defined as any printable output from a computer. Thus, from a computer standpoint, a label is a report.

A report file ready to be imported into GAGEtrak will have the extension .rpt. For instance a Calibration Work Order report, when seen as a file outside of GAGEtrak will read like this: Calibration Work Order.rpt.

If you have been supplied a report or label that you want to import into GAGEtrak, please place the .rpt file into a folder on your computer's hard drive. Make sure you know where this folder is and how to reach it using My Computer or Windows Explorer.

The Import Process:

1. Launch GAGEtrak 6.

2. Go to Set Up -> Custom Reports.

3. Select the Import/Export tab.

4. We will be working on the bottom half of the form.

5. Please select the Drive Letter containing the folder where you put the report file.

6. In the large pane on the left, select folders until you reach the one with the report in it.

7. When you open the folder, the report will appear in the right pane.

8. Select the report file in the right pane.

9. Click on the Import button on the bottom of the form.

Accepting the Report:

1. If there are no other reports with the same name as the one you are importing, you will see a message box when the report has been imported. The message box will say: One report successfully imported.

2. If a report already exists by the same name as the one you are trying to import, you will be asked if you want to overwrite the current report. Click YES if you do or NO if you do not.

Permissions to use the report:

1. Before you can use any new or imported report you must give yourself permission to use it.

2. Go Set up ->Security.

3. Select the Group Permissions Tab.

4. Select your user group from the drop-down (most likely Admin).

5. Select Reports from the radio buttons on the left.

6. Select the report name from the Reports dropdown list on the right side.

7. In the Permissions pane on the bottom of the form, select print.

8. Close the Security form with X in the upper right corner.

Test the report in the Reports Menu or Calibration -> Labels.
