Batches are a powerful tool for delegating work to someone else.  A batch database is a child database that belongs to the parent database that made it.  Administrators selectively can decide how much a Batch inherits from its parent.  Batches are sent away and eventually come back and are ‘Restored.’  When Batches are restored, the parent database will add to itself anything new in the Batch – Sites, Test Categories, Equipment and Tests but not Users.

Assigning A Batch

1. Click on the main screen toolbar
2. Click
3. The Batch Assignment screen will appear
4. Choose an existing User to be the Batch Administrator
5. Choose the appropriate Platform

For PC platform the Batch Administrator will have a similar job and rights as an Administrator on the parent database.  They can add Users, for example, to the Batch database.  The Batch Administrator will also be the first required User ID for logging on to the Batch.  The password will be [Password] and the Administrator will be required to change it.

For Pocket PC platform the Batch Administrator will be the User of the Pocket PC.

• Double click any Available Sites to assign them to the Batch

Assigning a Site to a Batch means that the Batch will inherit any Locations, Equipment (and tests for PC platform) in that Site.  It is better to assign required Sites only, particularly for the Pocket PC platform.  It is not mandatory to assign any Sites.  All Batches will automatically inherit all Test Categories. A filter must be created before a batch can be assigned (for help regarding this please contact Technical Support).

• Select the date the Batch is due back

If you are assigning a Batch to Pocket PC

1. Ensure the Pocket PC is connected t the Computer and the Active Sync icon is green
2. Click OK

If you are assigning a Batch to PC

1. Select a file location and enter a name for the new Batch database
2. Click open

It is strongly suggested you create a ‘Batches Out’ folder to put all created Batches, and that you give each Batch a unique and meaningful name.  Then give a copy of the Batch database to whoever requires it.  DO NOT give out multiple copies of the same Batch database, make another Batch instead.

Also create a ‘Batches In’ folder to put Batches in when returned.  It is important to keep Batches ‘Out’ and ‘In’ separate because they will likely have the same file name.

After Batch is assigned, you will be asked to wait.  Depending on the speed of your computer, the size of the database, and the speed of connection to the Pocket PC, you will be waiting from a few seconds to a minute.

1. Ensure the Pocket PC is connected to the computer and the Active Sync icon is green
