Datasheets Tab

On the Datasheets tab, you can set the number of revisions that appear in the history list and change the default Field Name captions.

• Set the number of revisions that appear in the revision history list by entering a number in the Maximum Number of Revisions in History List field.

• To change a Field Name caption, enter the required text in the Caption field and check the Use box. If no text is entered into the Caption text fields and the Use checkbox is checked, the default name shown in the Field Name column will be used.

  If the Use checkbox is left un-checked, the default Field Name and any text in the Caption field with be ignored.

• The properties of each datasheet include an "of" value. For example, a datasheet may be sheet 1 of 2. If this value (for example, "2") is to be calculated either by simply totaling the number of sheets with the same datasheet number, the Use MAX sheet No. as value for Sheet Of should be checked.

  If the first sheet number (in other words, the lowest) is to be used as the basis for this calculation, this checkbox should be unchecked. In other words, when the lowest number is more than one, then the sheets with lower numbers that are implied to exist are taken into account.

  If this setting is changed, a message will be displayed when preferences are saved asking whether or not sheet numbers for existing datasheets should be recalculated. If No is clicked, the change will only be applied to datasheets subsequently created or updated.

• If when an instrument tag is assigned to a datasheet, the Requisition Number of the datasheet is to overwrite that of the instrument, check the Overwrite Tag Requisition Number checkbox (the default setting). Otherwise uncheck the checkbox.

  If the checkbox is checked, if the datasheet is deleted or the instrument tag is unassigned from it, the Requisition Number is deleted from the instrument tag details.
