Caliso Calibration Administrator - Main Features

Overview Main Features

Caliso Calibration Administrator - a cost-effective yet powerful way to manage your calibration data.



Main Table Display

The Main Table Display is central to Calibration Administrator. From here you:
  • Access all the program's features using the buttons in the dark panel to the left
  • Sort data so that devices with the same entry are grouped together
  • View a device's data in the scrolling region on the right of the page. As you scroll down the entries on the data-grid, the current entry's complete data record is displayed in the scrolling region on the right hand side.
The Calibration Calendar

The Calendar is an easy-to-use way of keeping track of your device calibrations. It will enable you to view, one year at a time, all of the devices due for calibration in any month. All due calibrations are listed in date order.

The Calendar shows the following information on each device:
  • Calibration Due Date
  • Unique ID
  • Device Type
  • Location
  • Last Calibration Date





Calibration Reminders and Recall Notices by E-Mail

First, a search tool enables you to locate any devices on the database whose calibrations will expire within a certain period ( eg: 30, 60, 90 days ) or between 2 dates ( eg 1st June to the 10th June ). The software then groups the selected devices by Message Recipient for you, and automatically creates recall e-mails which you then send to the Message Recipients at the click of a button. (You allocate a Message Recipient for each device on the database by choosing from a list that you create. )

How are the e-mails sent ? Calibration Administrator uses an advanced Windows feature called 'Object Linking and Embedding' ( OLE ) to place reminders into the 'Sent Items' folder of your Microsoft Outlook application. You can use any other application for your regular e-mails, but Outlook must be configured on your system, although it actually doesn't need to be running when the reminders are sent.
