PMEP Home Page Food Quality Protection Act Crop Profiler User's Guide Crop Profiler User's Guide: Data Entry 2

Contacts

Use this screen to identify commodity experts within your state. You do this by picking the contact code from a drop-down list containing the contact's code and the contact's name. The names and codes in the drop-down list come from a master list of commodity experts in your state. When you first start using Crop Profiler, the master list of contacts will be empty and you will have to add to the list before you can define any contacts for a particular commodity. You add new contacts to the master list by clicking the button which brings up the Add/Edit Contact dialog.

• Contact Name
  The contact person's name.
• Contact Address Line 1
• Contact Address Line 2
• Contact City/State/Zip
  The contact person's address information.
• Contact Phone
  The contact person's phone number.
• Contact Email
  The contact person's electronic mail address (user@host).

Once you've finished entering the contact person's information, click the button at the top of the Add/Edit Contact dialog. To continue adding contacts to the list, press the Command-N (Mac) or Control-N (Win) keys on the keyboard to create a new, blank contact record.

Once you add a contact person to the master list, you can edit the entry by clicking on the button. This brings up the Add/Edit Contact dialog with the information for the currently selected contact. Edit the record, and click the button. The changes you make will be reflected in all the profiles you've already entered.

References

Use this screen to cite any references you used while developing the crop profile. You do this by picking the reference code from a drop-down list containing the reference code and label. The codes and labels in the drop-down list come from a master list of references. This is done because it is likely you will be relying on many of the same reference works for many of the crop profiles. When you first start using Crop Profiler, the master list of references will be empty and you will have to add to the list before you can associate a reference with a particular commodity. You add new references to the master list by clicking the button which brings up the Add/Edit Reference dialog.

• Reference Label
  The reference label is for your information only. It is used to distinguish one reference from another in the drop-down list.
• Reference Text
  This is the full citation. Format this as if you were adding a citation to a paper. No formatting will be applied to this field, so be sure that you are giving enough information so that someone else could find the work you are citing.

Once you've finished entering the reference, click the button at the top of the Add/Edit Reference dialog. To continue adding references to the list, press the Command-N (Mac) or Control-N (Win) keys on the keyboard to create a new, blank citation.

Once you add a reference to the master list, you can edit the entry by clicking on the button. This brings up the Add/Edit Reference dialog with the information for the currently selected reference. Edit the record, and click the button. The changes you make will be reflected in all of the profiles you've already entered.
