Date Calender prompts are used for Crystal and SQL reports where date prompts are used. You can still type in the date, however, the drop down calender makes date selection easier can help eliminate mistakes.

When using the METDaemon as a web server, the installation is simplified and there are new engineering notes fields that can be configured. These engineering Notes (memo) fields will only work properly when using the METDaemon as a web server.
Attach to Dedicated MET/TRACK Desktop
Metrology Xplorer 1 allows you to select a specific MET/TRACK Desktop. A special desktop can be created for Metrology Xplorer 1, that would allow for field layouts that would display better within a web browser. In addition, you can eliminate or add fields that you want outside customers to see.
EXCEL, WORD or PDF Reports
Crystal Reports can be exported to the user in PDF, EXCEL, or WORD format.

You can customize the look of the screens by applying wallpaper layouts. On Time Support provides some default Wallpaper, or you can create your own, or leave the screen blank.

The new reports admin screen now integrates all report functions in one place. You can manage both SQL and Crystal reports. They can be either active or inactive. Report prompts are presented in a logical manner making them easy to maintain. You can also clone or rename reports.
