Create New Loop Types

To add a new loop type to the catalog

1. Click New. The Add New Loop Type window is then displayed:

   

2. From the Class Name list select the class of the loop type. The Class Description field is automatically completed with the description of the selected class.

3. In the Loop Code field, enter the loop type code. Enter a description of the code in the Description field.

4. The entry in the Order field defines the position in which a loop type will appear in the list of values. The lower the order number, the higher the position. Loop types with the same number will be listed in alphabetically order.

   For example, in the screen example above (see Loop Type Catalog), there are many loop types with an order value of 99. These will be listed after those loop types with lower order values, in alphabetical order. If no order number is entered for a loop type, it will appear at the bottom of the list of values.

5. The Class Name and Loop Code fields cannot be left blank. The combination of class and loop code must be unique, i.e it cannot already been have assigned to another loop type.

6. Click Apply to save the new loop type without exiting the window.

7. Click OK to save the new loop type and exit the window.

8. Click New to clear all the fields.

9. Click Cancel to exit the window without saving the new loop type.
