3 Downloading BUSINESS and CLOUD Variants

Different variants of IZYTRONIQ can be downloaded from https://www.izytron.com/downloads.php. After downloading the file (IZYTRONIQ.Setup.exe), it must be stored to a directory. The setup file then appears in the selected directory.
After starting the file, follow the installation instructions (see “Initial installation of BUSINESS Starter / Advanced / Professional / Pre­mium”.

4 Initial installation of BUSINESS Starter / Advanced / Professional / Premium

IZYTRONIQ can be installed as standalone (local) software and used exclusively on the respective PC. The application can be used with BUSINESS Starter, BUSINESS Advanced, BUSINESS Professional and BUSINESS Premium licenses.
Installation of IZYTRONIQ is started by executing the IZYTRONIQ.Setup.exe file. Verification is first of all conducted to determine whether or not installation is possible with the available system environment (see “System requirements for local and client installation”).
When prompted to choose Standalone, Network Version (client) or Cloud Operation, Standalone must be selected. The user is then asked in which language IZYTRONIQ should be installed. Afterwards, either standard or user-defined installation can be selected. In the case of user-defined installation, the directory path can be changed. After installation, you have the option of either
starting the program directly or closing the installer. After starting the software for the first time, the license key has to be entered (see “Licensing”).

5 Initial installation of the ENTERPRISE Variant

Caution!
As is the case with every client-server architecture, administrative knowledge is required in order to install the necessary back­end components. Minimum technical requirements must be fulfilled in order to operate one’s own server. Further information is included in our installation checklist which we can make available to you upon request. Further software components from Microsoft are also required, for example a server with MS Server operating system. This includes MS IIS, which must be administrated for IZYTRONIQ. Installation of the required MS SQL database also necessitates appropriate technical knowledge. Additional license costs are incurred depending on the selected performance level of the MS SQL database. In order to assure GDPR-compliant, secure communication between the server and the client, the data must be encrypted for transmission. A certificate is required to this end. Detailed information concerning this certificate can be found in the corre­sponding passages of the respective sections. Our industry support department would be happy to help you with installation of your IZYTRONIQ backend within the frame­work of a service package.
Download IZYTRONIQ Enterprise can be downloaded from https://www.izytron.com/downloads.php.
After downloading the files (IZYTRONIQ.Setup.exe and IZYTRON.Backend.zip), they have to be saved to a directory on the server intended for this purpose.
Important Note
Due to the fact that the Client and Backend versions are mutually depen­dent on each other, we always recommend running both downloads (Backend and Client), one immediately after the other, from the above referenced website.
Otherwise it’s not possible to rule out possible incompatibilities between Backend and Client after installation has been completed.

5.1 Installation Prerequisites for IZYTRONIQ BACKEND

Windows Server 2016 or higher is recommended for installation. The network infrastructure is dealt with in detail in the following sections, for example settings and features are described which are required for operation of the backend.
The following attributes must be activated:
Windows Server 2016 or later
MS SQL Server for the database
(mixed mode authentication is recommended in the case of an MS SQL Express installation)
MS SQL Management Studio
Activated IIS with the corresponding features
Common HTTP features – All except for WebDAV Publishing Health and diagnostics – HTTP logging – Request monitor Performance – Static content compression) Security – Request filtering – Basic authentication
The following features must be activated:
Application development – .NET Extensibility 4.6 – ASP.NET 4.6 – ISAPI Extensions – ISAPI filters Management tools – IIS management console – IIS 6 management compatibility – Complete .NET Framework 4.6 features – WCF services – HTTP activation

5.1.1 .NET Framework 4.6.1

Installation of .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later can be executed by a corresponding Microsoft installation program.

5.1.2 Microsoft SQL Server

A Microsoft SQL Server (2016 or later) must be available to which the backend can connect. Appropriate software can be obtained from Microsoft for a license fee.
The following hardware specifications are minimum requirements which may have to be scaled up depending upon usage and utiliza­tion:
Processor Quad core CPU
RAM 8 GB
Hard disk space 100 GB
Note
The specifications in the table shown above make reference to an IZYTRONIQ ENTERPRISE single-server installation.
10 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

5.1.3 Installing IIS in the Server Manager under Roles and Features

The following description is based on the English version of a Windows server. Images and sequences may vary depending on server version. Start the Server Manager and open the selection list by clicking Add roles and features.
The required features are listed under “Installation Prerequisites for IZYTRONIQ BACKEND”.

5.1.4 SSL Certificate

A valid certificate must be available on the server in order to be able to use the WebService and the SyncService. This certificate provides for secure communication via https in order to ensure GDPR-compliant data exchange. It’s advisable to obtain the certificate from an authorized source with a suitable duration of validity. A self-signed certificate can be used
as an alternative. However, these are typically limited to one year and must be installed separately to the clients in the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” memory location. A description of where the certificate has to be incorporated into the IIS (Internet Information Services) is included below.
Click Server Certificates to this end.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 11
Afterwards, the desired certificate has to be loaded to IIS via the import function.
Select “Personal” under certificate store.
The certificate’s fingerprint is entered to the respective configuration files (IZYTRONIQ.SyncSvc.exe and Web) in uppercase letters without blanks and without hidden special characters. It may be advisable to copy the certificate’s fingerprint into the editor and copy it, in order to avoid errors.
12 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Note
This is only possible after successful installation of the backend’s .msi files, which is described in more detail below beginning with “Installing the Database”.
Subsequently, the certificate also has to be entered to the bindings of the default website so that communication can take place in the case of standard installation.
A new binding must be added to the site bindings via the “Add” function. A new window appears.
It must be assured that “https” is selected under type and that “443” is selected as the port. The SSL certificate must then be selected which was previously imported into IIS.
The “IP address” and “Host name” fields remain unchanged.
Acknowledge your selections by clicking OK.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 13

5.1.5 Required Users and Rights for Installing the Backend

A local administrator is required in order to install and set up the backend. This user’s password must not expire or be changed. Ideally, the server is installed directly under this user’s ID.
This user must also be set up in the SQL Management Studio and have “dbcreator” and “sysadmin” rights in order to create data­bases.

5.1.6 Hardware Recommendations

This section includes recommendations for the network infrastructure for operation of the Enterprise variant of IZYTRONIQ.
5.1.6.1 Server
Standard installation typically involves installation to a server on which the database, the application and the synchronization service run. The server must be adequately dimensioned in accordance with system utilization.
Backend Server
Location: Intranet Access: Domain access Operating system: Windows Server 2016 Accessibility: Via HTTPS from the clients (via intranet)
Services
Name Typ e Description
IZYTRONIQ Backend Web service Provision of services for the IZYTRONIQ client
Hardware
Above all, the backend server requires as much computing power as possible.
Name Minimum Recommended
CPU 1 logical core per 10 users 1 logical core per 5 users
RAM 1 GB per 10 users 1 GB per 5 users
Synchronization Server
Location: Intranet Access: Domain access Operating system: Windows Server 2016 Accessibility: Via HTTPS from the clients (via intranet)
Services
Name Typ e Description
IZYTRONIQ backend sync service Windows service Service for synchronizing the client database with the
backend database and importing data from the test in­struments
Hardware
Name Minimum Recommended
CPU Quad core Quad core
RAM 8 GB 16 GB
Hard disk 10 GB 15 GB
Network 100 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s
14 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Backend Database Server
Location: Intranet Access: Domain access Operating system: Windows Server 2016
The database server does not necessarily require its own installation. If there’s already an existing database server with adequate resources, this can be used as well (in an existing or a separate instance).
This offers the advantage of not having to run an additional SQL server (mirroring, backup and disaster recovery).
Services
Name Typ e Description
MS SQL server 2016 or newer MS SQL server version Database Backend database
We recommend using MS SQL server 2016 or higher.
Hardware
Hardware depends to a great extent on whether additional databases and services, or only the database for the backend server, will be run on the server.
Name Minimum Recommended
CPU Dual core Quad core
RAM 8 GB 16 GB
Hard disk 10 GB 20 GB
Network 100 Mbit/s > 100 Mbit/s
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 15

5.2 Installing IZYTRONIQ Backend

General
The backend includes 4 installation packages, all of which have to be installed to the same server, even if the database will run on a separate server:
Database
Application server
Synchronization service
License activation tool
Installation must be started by means of a command prompt with administrative rights. The .msi files have to be executed with the “msiexec /i” command. In the case of a standard installation, the default values listed below are always used – even if they’re not explicitly specified. The parameters can be optionally edited in the case of a non-standard installation.
Note
Two databases are installed to an MS SQL server provided by the cus­tomer while IZYTRONIQ Enterprise Backend is being installed. User accounts must be provided which include corresponding rights for instal­lation and operation of IZYTRONIQ Enterprise, in particular with rights for accessing the MS SQL server.

5.2.1 Installing the Database

IZYTRONIQ BackEnd Database.msi
Description
This setup installs the application server’s database.
MSI Package
The MSI package includes the following optional parameters, for which the respectively used default values are specified in the follow­ing. These are used automatically if the corresponding parameter isn’t specifically configured during installation.
PRODUCT_LANGUAGE = de BACKEND_SERVERNAME = localhost BACKEND_DATABASE = IZYTRON.IQ BACKEND_DATABASE_USERNAME = BACKEND_DATABASE_USERPWD =
The last two parameters are typically only required if the database to be set up will run on another server.
Example of configuration during installation:
msiexec /i "IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd Database.msi" BACKEND_SERVERNAME = myserver\SQLEXPRESS PRODUCT_LANGUAGE = en BACKEND_DATABASE_USERNAME = johndoe BACKEND_DATABASE_USERPWD = mypassword
In the example, the database for the English language is installed to the SQL server (“myserver”) with MS SQL instance SQLEXPRESS and user “johndoe” along with his password (“mypassword”) as “IZYTRON.IQ”.
Comments
– If the database already exists when setup is executed, it’s not deleted. If the version in the Database_Info table does not corre-
spond to setup, setup executes the corresponding update scripts in so far as an IZYTRONIQ database is involved.
– The database doesn’t necessarily have to be installed to the same server as the backend. If the connection string in the “IZY-
TRON.IQ.SyncSvc.exe.config” file is appropriately modified, the application server utilizes the correct database.
It’s advisable to determine whether or not the IZYTRONIQ database has been successfully created with the help of the MS SQL Manage­ment Studio.
16 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

5.2.2 Installing the Application Server

IZYTRONIQ BackEnd ApplicationServer.msi
Description
This setup installs the application server to IIS.
MSI Package
The MSI package includes the following optional parameters:
INSTALLWEBAPPDIR = standard wwwroot directory of the IIS, normally = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\IZYTRON.IQ
WEBSITE_NAME = Default Website WEBAPP_NAME = IZYTRON.IQ APPPOOL_NAME = IZYTRON.IQ.BackEnd Pool APPPOOL_USERNAME = APPPOOL_USERPWD =
With the default settings, the application server is installed as follows:
This installs the application server to IIS under “MyWebSite\MyWebApp” (virtual directory) and physically to “c:\myinstalldir”. The appli­cation pool (IZYTRON.IQ.BackEnd Pool) (default) is set up with user name “myapppooluser” and password “mypwd”, and is assigned to the website.
Attention!
The user designated for operative use must also always have access to the database with read and write authority, in so far as this user is not the dbo (database owner)!
Comments
– The application’s URL is laid out as follows:
https://<certificate path>/<application name> The certificate path is the path which is specified in the general information for the certificate in IIS (“General” tab, issued to: <certif­icate path> in the “Certificate” window).
– If “IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd ApplicationServer.msi” is executed directly by double-clicking, the application server is installed as
“Default Web Site\IZYTRONIQ” with the “IZYTRON.IQ.BackEnd Pool” app pool and the following default app pool credentials: Appli- cationPoolIdentity. This user (ApplicationPool) probably doesn’t have any access to the database. A suitable user must be entered to this end (in the app pool’s “Advanced Settings” under “Identity”).
– The following URL can be opened in the browser in order to display the correct installation:
“https://localhost/IZYTRON.IQ/HandshakeRemoteService.svc” (if installed in this way). In the event of correct installation, an information page is displayed. https://<certificate path>/IZYTRON.IQ/HandshakeRemoteService.svc
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 17
Note
However, if URL https://localhost/IZYTRON.IQ/HandshakeRemoteSer­vice.svc is used, a certificate error is displayed as a rule in the browser because certifi­cates are not typically issued via a certificate path including “localhost”. The user must also assure that the certificate used for the application has been entered or saved to the web browser which is also used for the application. This also applies in the case of computers for which subse­quent installation of an IZYTRONIQ Enterprise client is planned, if a self­signed certificate is involved.
If the page is not displayed, a standard IIS error message appears instead, which provides information concerning any possible instal­lation errors. – The application uses default HTTPS port 443. The TCP port setting may not be changed.
– A valid certificate must be assigned to the page. Otherwise, the clients are unable to access the application server.
A corresponding binding with a certificate for this purpose must therefore be set up on the IZYTRONIQ backend server. When install- ing the IZYTRONIQ backend application service with the default parameters specified above, binding to the default website must take place in IIS (internet information services). Please refer to previous section 5.1.4, “SSL Certificate”, for details.
18 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
The value for “findValue” must also be correctly set in the Web.Config file under the <serviceCertificate> tag. This corresponds to the certificate’s fingerprint or thumbprint. As shown in the figure above, the fingerprint or thumbprint can be taken from the certificate’s details, which in turn can be found in IIS under Server Certificates.
For the purposes of IZYTRONIQ, the fingerprint must be taken over – without blanks, – using uppercase letters only and – without hidden special characters within the <serviceCertificate> tag of the Web.config file.
Note
The Web.config file doesn’t have to be modified until modification of the IZYTRONIQ SyncService.exe.config file becomes necessary during installa­tion of the synchronization service (next section: “Installing the Synchro­nization Service”). The corresponding tag in the Web.config file can sim­ply be replaced with the modified <serviceCertificate> tag there.
Attention!
The user of the application server’s application pool (in IIS) must be authorized to access the database. Corresponding rights (read and write) must be provided at the database side.

5.2.3 Installing the Synchronization Service

IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd SyncService.msi
Description
This setup installs the synchronization service. It’s installed as a standalone Windows service with the name “IZYTRONIQ BackEnd Sync­Service”.
Comments
The service must be installed to the same server as the application server.
Configuration
– Installation directory: %Programfiles%\Gossen-Metrawatt\IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd SyncService – The configuration file is located in the installation directory and its name is IZYTRON.IQ.SyncSvc.exe.config.
Note: If the service (IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd SyncService) has been started automatically after installation, it should be stopped for the purpose of configuration.
The following lines must be changed in the IZYTRONIQ.SyncSvc.exe.config file.
<serviceCertificate findValue="[certificate thumbprint]" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="Find­ByThumbprint" />
Enter the fingerprint or thumbprint of your utilized certificate in uppercase letters without blanks in place of [certificate thumbprint].
Example:
<serviceCertificate findValue="[certificate thumbprint]" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="Find­ByThumbprint" />
Note
The Web.config file of the IZYTRONIQ application server can be changed by copying the modified <serviceCertificate> tag from the IZYTRO- NIQ.SyncSvc.exe.config file and inserting it at the appropriate place in the Web.config file.
– The connection to the local synchronization service database is configured with the name “SyncService” in the <connection-
Strings> section of the IZYTRONIQ.SyncSvc.exe file.
The path to the instance must be modified if necessary under “DataSource= (local)”, for example “DataSource=(local)\SQLEXPRESS”, and “(local)” must be replaced with the computer’s name if applicable.
We recommend adding the following entry to the line: “;MultipleActiveResultSets=True”.
20 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Example:
<add name=“SyncService” providerName=“System.Data.SqlClient” connectionString=“Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=SyncSer­vice;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True”/>
In order to make it possible for the service to create the SyncService database when it’s started, it must be started via a user account which is
capable of creating databases.
The following figure shows an example of how the service is accordingly set up using an account which has corresponding SQL server-side authority as a “dbcreator”.
After the service has been started, checking can be conducted to determine whether or not the “SyncService” database has been suc­cessfully created.
After it has been installed to the IZYTRONIQ backend server, the synchronization service should be checked for correct functioning with the help of a web browser and the following link: “https://<certificate path>/SyncService”.
The synchronization service can be subjected to additional testing for correct functioning with the help of the following link: “https://<certificate path>/bits”.
It’s advisable to set the service’s start mode to “Automatic (Delayed Start)”.

5.2.4 Installing the License Activation Tool (floating services)

IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd License Activation.msi
Description
This setup installs the license activation tool. It’s installed as a standalone program with the following name: “IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd License Activation”.
Comments
The service must be installed to the same PC as the application server. In order to install the service, execute the IZYTRONIQ BackEnd License Activation.msi file with the help of the command prompt using administrative rights as described above for the other 3 .msi files.
Configuration The following icon appears on the desktop of the IZYTRONIQ BackEnd Server after installation:
Start the IZYTRONIQ.BackEnd.LicenseActivation tool by double clicking the icon.
Important Note
For the following procedures, use only the license certificate most recently obtained from us which has been issued for IZYTRONIQ ENTER- PRISE Premium.
License certificates issued for IZYTRONIQ ENTERPRISE Ultimate may not be used with IZYTRON.IQ BackEnd.LicenseActivation!
Comment:
License keys from license certificates which have been issued for IZYTRONIQ Enterprise Ultimate should instead be stored to the outdoor PC for which offline operation without connection to the server will be additionally enabled. The IZYTRONIQ client which has been previ­ously installed as a server-based client must be started at the outdoor PC to this end, where the Ultimate license can then be entered in the “Settings” menu (see also the following section in this regard if necessary).
22 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
In order to activate a license for the backend application, a valid license key must be entered to the “License Key” field (1). The license
1
2
3
4
key can be found in your license certificate, which must have been issued for IZYTRONIQ Enterprise Premium. In the event that licensing has already taken place and, for example, licensing will be extended to include one or more floating licenses, the license certificate with the license extension must be used, because it replaces the existing license.
This license can be activated at the registration server by clicking the “Activate” button (2), assuming that the IZYTRONIQ backend server is connected to the Internet. If connection with the Internet is not possible, offline activation is possible as an alternative. An activation file can be generated to this end by clicking the “Generate Activation File” button (3). Send this file to our support department via e-mail.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Product Support Hotline
Phone: +49-911-8602-0 Fax: +49-911-8602-709 e-mail: support@gossenmetrawatt.com
You will then receive a valid .lic file. The file must be saved to the following hidden directory: C:\ProgramData\Infralution\Licenses\.
Note
If a license has already been saved to the server, it’s details can be dis­played under “Current License Data”.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 23

5.3 Installing the Frontend (client) for IZYTRONIQ Enterprise

IZYTRONIQ can be installed to the PC as a client. The “Network Version (Client)” option must be selected in response to the following
prompt: Standalone, Network Version (Client) or Cloud Operation.
A functioning IZYTRONIQ ENTERPRISE Backend is required to this end, whose URL is entered during the next step in accordance with the certificate path (address to which the certificate is issued). Example of a typical, complete entry: https://<certificate path>/IZYTRON.IQ/
Example:
https://computer name.domain.com/IZYTRON.IQ/
The floating license is distributed by the server (ENTERPRISE Premium) and can be expanded to include offline functionality (ENTERPRISE Ultimate), whose license code can be entered exclusively to the client’s own “Settings” menu after the client has been started. The license activation tool for the backend may not be used to activate an IZYTRONIQ Enterprise Ultimate license! We recommend starting the application directly after installation of the client in order to set up an administrative user. After installation, you have the option of either starting the program directly or closing the installer.
24 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

6 Licensing

A license is needed to operate IZYTRONIQ. It can be obtained online using an activation file.
6.1 Licensing BUSINESS Starter / BUSINESS Advanced / BUSINESS Professional / BUSINESS Premium / EDUCATION Pro­fessional / EDUCATION Premium
To license your IZYTRONIQ, go to reg.izytron.com and enter the registration code you received when purchasing the product, together with your address data and your email address. Your license key will be sent to the email address you provided without delay. You must enter this license key the first time you start IZYTRONIQ. A connection is then established with the license server for the purpose of authentication. Your hardware (MAC address of your computer) is coupled to the license key during this process. This means that the license can only be used with this particular hardware. Should you wish to use the license on different hardware, it is first necessary to uninstall IZYTRONIQ on its current hardware. During this process, the license will be de-authenticated and released for use with other hardware (new computer).
In the unlikely event that you are unable to license and authenticate the software by a one-time connection with the Internet, the licens­ing procedure can also be completed without an Internet connection. To do this, you will have to contact employees at GOSSEN METRAWATT directly. Our friendly team is available to assist you on telephone: +49 911 8602-0.

6.2 Licensing ENTERPRISE Premium

To license your IZYTRONIQ, go to reg.izytron.com and enter the registration code you received when purchasing the product, together with your address data and your email address. Your license key will be sent to the email address you provided without delay. The license key must be entered on the server. A connection is then established with the license server for the purpose of authentication. This means that the license can only be used with this particular hardware. IZYTRONIQ ENTERPRISE Premium acts as the client server system and provides a network structure within this system. This structure con­sists of a central database server as the server component and several workstation computers as client components. The respective administrator must install the server manually. For this purpose, the administrator will receive the installation instructions (best practice document) describing how the MS SQL server should be configured for IZYTRONIQ. Separate license keys are not needed for the clients in ENTERPRISE Premium. Instead you will require the necessary number of floating licenses on the server. In addition to installing the server, you will have to install the client on each workstation computer. The database path for the server must be specified during installation on the client. You may install an infinite number of license-free clients, but please take note that simultaneous use will never exceed the number of floating licenses you have purchased. In the unlikely event that you are unable to license and authenticate the software by a one-time connection with the Internet, the licens­ing procedure can also be completed without an Internet connection. To do this, you will have to contact employees at GOSSEN METRAWATT directly. Our friendly team is available to assist you on telephone: +49 911 8602-0.

6.3 Licensing ENTERPRISE Ultimate

The IZYTRONIQ ENTERPRISE Ultimate licenses can only be used in combination with at least one ENTERPRISE Premium floating license. To purchase a ENTERPRISE Ultimate license, you require a ENTERPRISE Premium license.
Each ENTERPRISE Ultimate must be licensed after installation on the mobile device (tablet, notebook). To license your IZYTRONIQ, go to reg.izytron.com and enter the registration code you received when purchasing the product, together with your address data and your email address. Your license key will be sent to the email address you provided without delay. You must
enter this license key the first time you start IZYTRONIQ. A connection is then established with the license server for the purpose of authentication. Your hardware (MAC address of your computer) is coupled to the license key during this process. This means that the license can only be used with this particular hardware. Should you wish to use the license on different hardware, it is first necessary to uninstall IZYTRONIQ on its current hardware. During this process, the license will be de-authenticated and released for use with other hardware (new computer).

12.1.2 Function “Input, change, list”

This module is used to structure, organize and manage locations, customers and test objects. The sequences and tests can be man­aged and assigned to test objects. Test results can be compared and test reports printed out.
The module view consists of the following 3 parts:
1. Tre e view: This view consists of two sub-trees, namely the electric tree on the left and the location tree on the right. All customers, test objects and locations – as well as their mutual relationships – can be registered, shown and managed here. Objects can be selected here. Refer also to “The tree view:”.
2. Detailed view: All details for the selected object are shown in this view. Once the test object has been selected, the test sequences used for this object, as well as all tests conducted on this test object, are shown in various tabs. Refer also to “The detailed view”.
3. List view – standard search: This view shows a list of all test objects located in the branch below the selected object in the tree view. A variety of criteria can be defined to filter this list so that only the required data is shown. Objects can also be selected here. Refer also to “The list view – standard function:” or “Lists”.
b) List view – extended search function (for large data volumes): If you work with large data volumes, it is useful to make a pre-selection of those data which are currently relevant for you. This helps to improve system performance. In this view, 2 index cards are shown. A selection has to be made via the first index card „SELECTION LIST“ as to which test objects are to be displayed in the „LIST OF OBJECTS“ index card. This list, in turn, can be filtered further by means of various crite­ria. See also “List view – extended search function” or “Lists”.

12.1.2.1 The tree view:
The tree view shows all registered test objects, customers and locations. They are displayed hierarchically as two tree structures, namely the electric tree (on the left) and the location tree (on the right). Selecting the node symbol opens a closed node or closes an open node.
Electric tree
This displays all customers and test objects. The objects are always assigned to a customer. The system does not accommodate test objects that are not assigned to a customer.
Note
Although all customers are shown, regardless of the type of test object (portable and stationary), it is only possible to access portable test objects.
Selected test object in the e-tree
44 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Location tree
The registered locations are shown in a hierarchical form here. Test objects can be assigned to these locations, although it is not man­datory. The location tree has the 4 defined hierarchy levels of property, building, level and room. It is not mandatory to use all levels of the hierarchy.
Selected position in the location tree
Interdependency of the tree structures
A test object can be linked to precisely one object in the location tree (although this is not necessary). In contrast, an object in the location tree may be connected to several test objects in the electric tree. When a location is marked in the location tree, all elements in the electric tree that are situated at this location will be marked in green. When a test object is selected in the electric tree, its assignment to a particular location is shown by a green marking on the corre-
sponding location object.
Connection logic for the tree elements
By selecting an object in a particular tree, the tree to which it is assigned will become the active tree. As described above, this is indi­cated by a green border around the tree window and a bold green bar at the top. Only one object can be marked in the active tree. By doing so, the symbol and text color of the object turn green, and the matching line is shaded in gray. In the other tree, the matching elements are indicated by the color of the symbol and text turning green. The parent objects are always indicated by a green symbol, while the color of the text remains white.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 45
Example for the e-tree: The electric tree is active; the power strip (3 sockets) is selected. Therefore, the symbol and text are green and shaded gray. The loca-
tion tree now indicates that this power strip is situated in room 1.21. The parent objects Südwestpark, High-rise, 1st floor are indicated by the green symbol, which means it is possible to identify where the power strip is located, even when the node is closed.
Example: assignment of a power strip
Example for the location tree: The location tree is active, and room 1.22 is selected. Therefore, the symbol and text are green and shaded gray. The electric tree
shows which objects are present in this room.
Example: objects in room 1.22

Create new element:
To create a new element, the object under which this new element is to be added must be marked in advance. The marked object is then shaded gray. After selecting , a “New Element” popup opens in which the user is offered the selection of elements that are pos­sible for the chosen position in the tree (e.g. if it is included in the hierarchy level “building” of the location tree, it is possible to create “levels” or “rooms”). Once the required element type has been selected, it is then necessary to define an element ID and the number of elements to be created. The element ID can also be created automatically by a logic defined in the settings; this is mandatory to create several elements of the same type. After creating one or several elements, the newly created element is selected automatically (the first one if several elements are created) and the creation of a subordinate element starts. The process is only concluded when the user explicitly closes (command CLOSE) the popup “New Element”. The newly created element/s is/are marked with a “+” until they have been saved.

12.1.2.2 The detailed view
The most important parameters for the object marked in the tree view (customer, device, medical device and location) are managed in the detailed view of portable devices. The objects cannot be created or deleted here.
Important data such as the object ID, object designation and parameters for the individual objects can be created and edited in the index cards. It is also possible to attach documents such as images, certificates and operating instructions.
When the input fields are selected, content can be added by entering text or making selections from a drop-down menu. Newly cre­ated objects in the electric tree are marked with a “+”, and edited objects with a “*”, until the changes have been saved.
Note IZYTRONIQ does not define a limit for the number of characters in the
respective data fields, but the connected test devices themselves may limit the number of characters. Please check the technical parameters of the test device. A restriction of transferable data fields may apply, depending on the connected test device. Please check the technical parameters of the test device.
Compulsory fields.
Some fields in the input screens are compulsory. Compulsory fields that are left blank are marked with the following symbol: . As a result, the object cannot be saved. The tab names and all associated displays are shown in red writing until the corresponding compulsory fields have been completed.

The index card for tests is used to manage and create tests for the selected object. The tests listed here are created in a variety of ways. Selecting the tool symbol opens the popup “Add Test”, which offers the following options:
54 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
REMOTE: the application controls the sequence process (refer to “Automatic process control for a test – remote function”) Here you
can execute, control and analyze test sequences in IZYTRONIQ. You can conduct remote testing with a variety of test devices and then analyze the results. Attachments such as circuit diagrams, drawings, instruction photos etc. can also be shown. Measure­ments can be conducted and reported using any test devices; refer to “Document management”.
PUSH/PRINT: input at the push of a button on the test device (refer to “Push/Print – first steps”):
The push/print function allows users to send test results directly to the selected test object in the IZYTRONIQ and to save them there in the Tests tab at the push of a button on the test device.
Manual input [from BUSINESS Professional]
This function allows tests to be conducted with any test devices that are not connected to IZYTRONIQ. It is also possible to create tests that do not require a test device, e.g. stating a number. Users select the function “Manual Input” and then click on “ADD” to open the window “MANUAL INPUT”.
They enter a test name and the test device used in the upper content section. The tester and the date are added automatically.
Take n o t e: Only test devices registered in test device management are eligible for selection.
Manual tests can be created in each row in the lower content section. To do this, users select the function
“ADD TEST STEP” in the toolbar. This is used to document current tests, whereby the following fields can be completed. Only the field “Test step” is compulsory.

12.1.3 Sequences function

Miscellaneous
Sequences can be assigned to each electric test object. A sequence consists of individual test steps in a certain order. The use of test sequences is advisable if a set of freely programmed test steps will be performed one after the other. Visual inspections, instructions, checks and individual measurements can be grouped to create automatic test sequences.
The sequences are specific to a test device and are saved to a sequence pool. They are transferred to the matching test device when needed.
A distinction is always made between the following types of sequence:
Test device sequences
These are test sequences that were created for a specific test device type, e.g. PROFITEST or SECUTEST. Test device sequences are easy to program in the sequence editor and can be transferred to the test device later on.
Note Fixed SECUTEST sequences: SECUTEST has configurable auto-sequences
that cannot be transferred bi-directionally. In addition, the test device sequences described here can be transferred to the SECUTEST. Here, only the transferable sequences can be edited and managed in sequence management.
IZY sequences
The sequences can only be executed in the IZYTRONIQ. They may contain test steps from device sequences, but also come with many other functions. For instance, manual measurement input, push/print tests, remote measurements, instructions and visual inspections can be integrated as well. Helpful images can also be saved for each test, which are then shown to the user step-by-step during the test. Sequences that have already been programmed can be used to cascade an IZY sequence; additionally, measurement steps for various test devices can also be programmed within one sequence. When a measurement step is programmed for a remote test, it then controls the matching test device, whereby the test device merely transfers the measured data. Display and control are managed in the IZYTRONIQ.
Note
Factory sequences
These are assigned test sequences whose process and parameters can­not be changed and that are configured as factory settings. GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH can make the sequences available as test device sequences and as IZY sequences.

12.1.4 Data import function (from the test device)

The import function is used to synchronize data from a test device or a file with the database in IZYTRONIQ. The function is found under “IMPORT” in the menu “PORTABLE OBJECTS”. Selecting this function opens the import assis-
tant.
The import assistant asks whether the data should be imported from a connected test device or a file (XML or CSV). – FROM THE TEST DEVICE: here you can choose between connected devices.
OBJECTS AND TESTS are selected for import in the default setting.
– FROM A FILE: Touch the field “SELECT” to select the file to which you wish to import the data. You can also select the file format in
the open Windows Explorer panel. A customer from the database is specified if the file does not contain a customer.
To start import, select IMPORT EVERYTHING or SELECT IN IMPORT PREVIEW. – Import takes place automatically if you select IMPORT EVERYTHING and then click on IMPORT.
– SELECT IN IMPORT PREVIEW
objects are then imported to the IZYTRONIQ database by selecting the function .
A message is shown confirming successful import and any transmission errors.

The export function is used to transfer data to a test device or a file. The function is found under “EXPORT” in the menu “PORTA­BLE OBJECTS” . Selecting this function opens the export assistant.
The export assistant asks whether the data should be exported to a connected test device or an XML or CSV file.
– TO THE TEST DEVICE: here you can choose between connected devices.
You can select OBJECTS and/or SEQUENCES.
– TO AN XML/CSV FILE: Touch the field “SAVE AS” to select the file in which you wish to save the data.
Take not e !
Export deletes all data on the connected test device. You are therefore shown a warning before export.
Selecting EXPORT starts the EXPORT FILTER.
Export filter
The export filter consists of two filter menus:
EXPORT FILTER OBJECTS
EXPORT SEQUENCES
When more than one filter menu is selected, the user switches between the views using the buttons “NEXT”, i.e. “BACK”. By selecting the “EXPORT” button in the toolbar, the selected data and the corresponding customers and locations are transferred to the connected test device. The current operation is shown during export. Users are shown a message once all data has been trans­ferred successfully.

12.1.6 Test templates function

The test templates are used to document, e.g. tests, or as acceptance or handover records, among other things. They use variable data from the selected measurements, combined with object-related data (e.g. customer data). Report templates either comply with statutory requirements or standards, or have been, i.e. are prepared to standardize documentation. IZYTRONIQ contains factory-config­ured, standard records that can neither be edited nor deleted.
You can create new templates or copy and edit existing templates. From version BUSINESS Advanced and above, a company logo or a scanned signature can be integrated in the report templates. They
are stored in setup under global or personal settings; refer to “Global settings” and “Personal settings”. The templates are created in MS Word, and placeholders can be used to arrange the test data in any way; refer to “Editing report tem-
plates”.
You will find reports management for portable objects under “REPORT TEMPLATES” in the “PORTABLE OBJECTS” menu.
Selection list of report templates
All available report templates are shown in record management. If users wish to print out a test record, the report templates associated with the respective object type (device, medical device) are
shown.
A record must be created in advance using MS Word in order to add a new record. New records are included in the list using the but­ton “ADD REPORT TEMPLATE”. Clicking on this symbol opens a system-specific menu to open Word documents. Users then select their chosen report template and confirm the choice to add a new entry in the management table. To save the new report tem­plate, users must select the device type for which the report template will apply and then add the name of the report template.

12.2.2 Function “Input, change, list”

This module is used to structure, organize and manage locations, customers and test objects. The sequences and tests can be man­aged and assigned to test objects. Test results can be compared and test reports printed out.
The module view consists of the following 3 parts:
4. Tre e view: This view consists of two sub-trees, namely the electric tree on the left and the location tree on the right. All customers, test objects and locations – as well as their mutual relationships – can be registered, shown and managed here. Objects can be selected here. Refer also to “Tree view”.
5. Detailed view: All details for the selected object are shown in this view. Once the test object has been selected, the test sequences used for this object, as well as all tests conducted on this test object, are shown in various tabs. Refer also to “Detailed view:”.
6. a) List view: This view shows a list of all test objects located in the branch below the selected object in the tree view. A variety of cri­teria can be defined to filter this list so that only the required data is shown. Objects can also be selected here. Refer also to “List view – Standard function” or “Lists”.
b) List view – extended sarch function (for large data volumes): If you work with large data volumes, it is useful to make a pre-selection of those data which are currently relevant for you. This helps to improve system performance. In this view, 2 index cards are shown. A selection has to be made via the first index card „SELECTION LIST“ as to which test objects are to be displayed in the „LIST OF OBJECTS“ index card. This list, in turn, can be filtered further by means of various crite­ria. See also “List view – extended search function” or “Lists”.

12.2.2.1 Tree view
The tree view shows all registered test objects, customers and locations. They are displayed hierarchically as two tree structures, namely the electric tree (on the left) and the location tree (on the right). Selecting the node symbol opens a closed node or closes an open node.
Electric tree
This displays all customers and test objects. The objects are always assigned to a customer. The system does not accommodate test objects that are not assigned to a customer.
Note
Although all customers are shown, regardless of the type of test object (portable and stationary), it is only possible to access stationary test objects.
Selected test object in the e-tree
74 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Location tree
The registered locations are shown in a hierarchical form here. Test objects can be assigned to these locations, although it is not man­datory. The location tree has the 4 defined hierarchy levels of property, building, level and room. It is not mandatory to use all levels of the hierarchy.
Image 1Tree view: Location tree is selected
Interdependency of the tree structures
A test object can be linked to precisely one object in the location tree (although this is not necessary). In contrast, an object in the location tree may be connected to several test objects in the electric tree. When a location is marked in the
location tree, all elements in the electric tree that are situated at this location will be marked in green. When a test object is selected in the electric tree, its assignment to a particular location is shown by a green marking on the corre­sponding location object.
Connection logic for the tree elements
By selecting an object in a particular tree, the tree to which it is assigned will become the active tree. As described above, this is indi­cated by a green border around the tree window and a bold green bar at the top. Only one object can be marked in the active tree. By doing so, the symbol and text color of the object turn green, and the matching line is shaded in gray. In the other tree, the matching elements are indicated by the color of the symbol and text turning green. The parent objects are always indicated by a green symbol, while the color of the text remains white.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 75
Example for the e-tree: The electric tree is active; the socket 01.19 is selected. Therefore, the symbol and text are green and shaded gray. The location tree
now indicates that this socket is situated in room 1.23. The parent objects Südwestpark, High-rise, 1st floor are indicated by the green symbol, which means it is possible to identify where the socket is located, even when the node is closed.
Example: assignment of the socket
Example for the location tree: The location tree is active, and room 1.23 is selected Therefore, the symbol and text are green and shaded gray. The electric tree indi-
cates that only the socket 01.19 is located in this room. The parent objects Customer Gossen Metrawatt, House installation, Main dis­tributor 1, RCD01.00, F01.01 are indicated by the green symbol, which means it is possible to identify that an object belonging to this parent node is located in the selected room, even when the node is minimized.
Example: objects in room 1.23

Create new element:
To create a new element, the object under which this new element is to be added must be marked in advance. The marked object is then shaded gray. After selecting , a “New Element” popup opens in which the user is offered the selection of elements that are pos­sible for the chosen position in the tree (e.g., if it is included in the hierarchy level “building” of the location tree, it is possible to create “levels” or “rooms”). Once the required element type has been selected, it is then necessary to define an element ID and the number of elements to be created. The element ID can also be created automatically by a logic defined in the settings; this is mandatory to create several elements of the same type. After creating one or several elements, the newly created element is selected automatically (the first one if several elements are created) and the creation of a subordinate element starts. The process is only concluded when the user explicitly closes (command CLOSE) the popup “New Element”. The newly created element/s is/are marked with a “+” until they have been saved.

The objects cannot be created or deleted here.
Important data such as the object ID, object designation and parameters for the individual objects can be created and edited in the index cards. It is also possible to attach documents such as images, certificates and operating instructions.
When the input fields are clicked on, content can be added by entering text or making selections from a drop-down menu. Newly cre­ated objects in the electric tree are marked with a “+”, and edited objects with a “*”, until the changes have been saved.
Note IZYTRONIQ does not define a limit for the number of characters in the
respective data fields, but the connected test devices themselves may limit the number of characters. Please check the technical parameters of the test device. A restriction of transferable data fields may apply, depending on the connected test device. Please check the technical parameters of the test device.

Test object
The test object is structured into three, i.e. four index cards (TEST OBJECT, TEST SEQUENCE, TESTS and (for facilities, i.e. machinery) also the TECHNICAL DATA).
Index card TEST OBJECT <Name>
Important data such as the object ID, object designation and parameters for the individual objects can be created and edited in the index cards. It is also possible to attach documents such as images, certificates and operating instructions.
When the input fields are clicked on, content can be added by entering text or making selections from a drop-down menu. Newly cre­ated objects in the electric tree are marked with a “+”, and edited objects with a “*”, until the changes have been saved.

Index card TEST SEQUENCE
The test sequence index card is used to assign text sequences to the selected object. Several test sequences can be assigned to one object. The view of assigned test sequences is shown in a list. A marked checkbox in the column STANDARD indicates the test sequence with which the object is to be tested. The test sequences themselves are managed in a parent sequence pool; refer to “Sequences function”.
Note
Deleting only removes the link, but not the sequence. The sequence remains present in the sequence pool.
Sequence steps
Users can show the details (individual steps) of a sequence by double-clicking on the sequence or by marking the sequence and then selecting the symbol . This opens a list of sequence steps, which is shown instead of the sequence list.

ADD TEST
REMOTE:
The application controls the sequence process (refer to “Automatic process control for a test – remote function”) Here you can execute, control and analyze test sequences in IZYTRONIQ. You can conduct remote testing with a variety of test de­vices and then analyze the results. Attachments such as circuit diagrams, drawings, instruction photos etc. can also be shown. Measurements can be conducted and reported using any test devices; refer to “Document management”.
PUSH/PRINT:
Input at the push of a button on the test device (refer to “Push/Print – first steps”): The push/print function allows users to send measured results directly to the selected test object in the IZYTRONIQ and to save them there in the Tests tab at the push of a button on the test device.
Manual input:
This function allows tests to be conducted with any test devices that are not connected to IZYTRONIQ. It is also possible to create tests that do not require a test device, e.g. stating a number. Users select the function “Manual Input” and then click on “ADD” to open the window “MANUAL INPUT”. They enter a test name and the test device used in the upper content section. The tester and the date are added automatically.
Take n o t e: Only test devices registered in test device management are eligible for selection.
Manual tests can be created in each row in the lower content section. To do this, users select the function
“ADD TEST STEP” in the toolbar. This is used to document current tests, whereby the following fields can be completed. Only the field “Test step” is compulsory.
No. Sequential number of the test step (automatic)
Step type Manual (automatic)

Create container, grouping of available tests
This function is used to group several tests for a selected object in one container. A joint report of these tests can therefore be created. The individual tests include the name of the responsible tester; the creator is responsible for the container. The first step in creating a container is to mark the tests that will be included in the container. Afterwards, the user selects “CREATE TEST CONTAINER” in the toolbar. Clicking on “ADD” opens an input screen to create the container name and to add the tester responsible for the container. Clicking again on “ADD” creates the container, and the program returns to the index card for tests.

12.2.2.3 List views
Two list views are available which differ with regard to the type of selection and search function:
– standard function – extended search function
For large data volumes we recommend the extended sarch function which conforms to the default setting. The respective selection has to be made in the following menu path: SETTINGS > PERSONAL SETTINGS > GENERAL SETTINGS >
Parameter ACTIVATE EXTENDED SEARCH FUNCTION (FOR LARGE DATA VOLUMES) The extended search function is active when the appropriate tick mark is set.
List view – Standard function
The list view shows all objects located in the tree view hierarchy below the selected element. This means, for example, that all test objects for one customer or all test objects located in the room can be listed. Here, only one element can be selected in the tree view. The number of currently listed elements is shown in the window at the bottom right.

12.2.3 Sequences function

Miscellaneous
Sequences can be assigned to each electric test object. A sequence consists of individual test steps in a certain order. The use of test sequences is advisable if a set of freely programmed test steps will be performed one after the other.
Visual inspections, instructions, checks and individual measurements can be grouped to create automatic test sequences.
The sequences are specific to a test device and are saved to a sequence pool. They are transferred to the matching test device when needed.
A distinction is always made between the following types of sequence:
Test device sequences
These are test sequences that were created for a specific test device type, e.g. PROFITEST or SECUTEST. Test device sequences are easy to program in the sequence editor and can be transferred to the test device later on.
IZY sequences
The sequences can only be executed in the IZYTRONIQ. They may contain test steps from device sequences, but also come with many other functions. For instance, manual measurement input, push/print tests, remote measurements, instructions and visual inspections can be integrated as well. Helpful images can also be saved for each test, which are then shown to the user step-by-step during the test. Sequences that have already been programmed can be used to cascade an IZY sequence; additionally, measurement steps for various test devices can also be programmed within one sequence. When a measurement step is programmed for a remote test, it then controls the matching test device, whereby the test device merely transfers the measured data. Display and control are managed in the IZYTRONIQ.
Note
Factory sequences
These are assigned test sequences whose process and parameters can­not be changed and that are configured as factory settings. GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH can make the sequences available as test device sequences and as IZY sequences.

12.2.4 Data import function

The import function is used to synchronize data from a test device or a file with the database in IZYTRONIQ. The function is found under “IMPORT” in the menu “STATIONARY OBJECTS”. Selecting this function opens the import assis-
tant.
The import assistant asks whether the data should be imported from a connected test device or a file (XML). – FROM THE TEST DEVICE: here you can choose between connected devices.
OBJECTS AND TESTS are selected for import in the default setting. DEVICE CATALOGS can be selected for import. SEQUENCES can be selected for import.
– FROM A FILE: Touch the field “SELECT” to select the XML file to which you wish to import the data.
To start import, select IMPORT EVERYTHING or SELECT IN IMPORT PREVIEW. – Import takes place automatically if you select IMPORT EVERYTHING and then click on IMPORT.
– SELECT IN IMPORT PREVIEW initially shows the data in the IMPORT PREVIEW. The data can then be selected and edited. The
objects are then imported to the IZYTRONIQ database by selecting the function .
A message is shown confirming successful import and any transmission errors.
The conflict manager is activated when there are conflicts between existing and imported data that cannot be resolved automatically.

Hide details
Where there are conflicts during import that prevent transfer of the objects, these objects are not simply discarded. Instead, an attempt is made to resolve these conflicts manually. To do this, the relevant objects are copied to a separate folder/table. At the same time, a warning symbol is shown in the status bar and the entries are marked in red.
Conflicts are edited here. There is a description for each conflict. The details for the conflict objects are shown (1) by selecting the detail symbol (+).
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 93
Users are shown possible methods to resolve the conflict by clicking several times on the handshake symbol (2): Ignore, merge or new.

These depend on the specific conflict. Alternatively, users can click on the column “Resolution” to open a pull-down menu with a selec­tion of possible solutions.
The red marking is hidden when a method is selected. The conflict is resolved by saving the changes. The resolved entry is then no longer shown in the conflict manager, and the corresponding object is integrated in the main database. The conflict manager is closed once all conflicts in the list have been resolved.

12.2.5 Data export function

The export function is used to transfer data to a test device or a file. The function is found under “EXPORT” in the menu “STATION­ARY OBJECTS” . Selecting this function opens the export assistant.
The export assistant asks whether the data should be exported to a connected test device or an XML file.
– TO THE TEST DEVICE: here you can choose between connected devices.
OBJECTS, DEVICE CATALOGS and SEQUENCES are each selected by default.
– TO AN XML FILE: Touch the field “SAVE AS” to select the file in which you wish to save the data.
Take not e !
Export deletes all data on the connected test device. You are therefore shown a warning before export.
Then the export filter is started by selecting “EXPORT”.
Export filter
The export filter consists of three filter menus:
EXPORT FILTER OBJECTS
EXPORT TEST DEVICE CATALOGS
EXPORT SEQUENCES
When more than one filter menu is selected, the user switches between the views using the buttons “NEXT”, i.e. “BACK”. By selecting the “EXPORT” button in the toolbar, the selected data and the corresponding customers and locations are transferred to the connected test device. The current operation is shown during export. Users are shown a message once all data has been trans­ferred successfully.
96 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Select and filter objects
The export filter OBJECTS consists of a two-part view. The upper half contains the two tree views, while the lower half shows a list of objects selected. Activating the checkboxes in front of the elements in the tree views is used to make a preselection based on custom­ers and locations. Here, users can select the objects in the electric tree that they wish to transfer, which they then narrow down by selecting locations in the location tree. Additional filters in the lower list can be applied to the element selected in this way (refer to “Lists”).
Select and filter test device catalogs
The catalog selection consists of a two-part view. The various catalogs are shown on the left-hand side, while the matching catalog entries are found on the right. There are different
methods of selecting the catalogs. A checkbox can be used to make a selection and export the catalog entries. Filters are available to restrict the selection.

12.2.6 Test templates function

The report templates are used to document, e.g. tests or as acceptance or handover records, among other things. They use variable data from the selected measurements, combined with object-related data (e.g. customer data). Report templates either comply with statutory requirements or standards, or have been, i.e. are prepared to standardize documentation. IZYTRONIQ contains factory-config­ured, standard records that can neither be edited nor deleted.
You can create new templates or copy and edit existing templates. From version BUSINESS Advanced and above, a company logo or a scanned signature can be integrated in the report templates. They
are stored in setup under global or personal settings; refer to “Global settings” and “Personal settings”. Custom templates are created in MS Word, and placeholders can be used to arrange the test data in any way.
You will find records management for stationary objects under “REPORT TEMPLATES” in the “STATIONARY OBJECTS” menu.
Selection list of report templates
All available report templates are shown in record management. If users wish to print out a test record, the report templates associated with the respective object type (device, medical device) are
shown.
A record must be created in advance using MS Word in order to add a new record. New records are included in the list using the but­ton “ADD REPORT TEMPLATE”. Clicking on this symbol opens a system-specific menu to open Word documents. Users then select their chosen report template and confirm the choice to add a new entry in the management table. To save the new report tem­plate, users must select the device type for which the report template will apply and then add the name of the report template.
