The Status Area
The status area helps you navigate through the database. It is available in every data entry screen. It
tells you which screen you're currently entering data into, and how many profiles, pests, or chemicals
you've entered into the database. It also has buttons for several common actions.
- Screen Name
- Shows the name of the current screen.
- Rolodex
- Click the top card in the Rolodex to go to the previous record. Click the bottom card in the Rolodex to go to the next record. The number at the bottom-right corner is the current record number. Clicking on this number brings up a dialog that allows you jump to an arbitrary record number. This is useful when you want to quickly go to the first or last record in a group.
- Total Records
- This area shows you the total number of records in the database. When you are entering general data about the profiles, this number represents the number of profiles in the database. When you are entering data about pests, this represents the total number of pests in the database. When you are entering information about chemical controls, this represents the total number of active ingredients entered into the database.
- Main Button
- This button takes you to the Main Menu
- Delete Button
- This button lets you delete an entire profile, or a pest or chemical record.
- Help Button
- This button will initiate an email to PMEP for technical support, if your configuration supports this function. See the Configuring Your Email Client section of this document.
- Back Button
- On screens where you are entering information about pests or chemicals, the
button takes you back to the Define Pests or Define Chemicals screens, respectively.
