Labels & Reports Overrides
Override Global Defaults for Reports and Labels
By default, the Global (application-wide) settings in Calibration Control for file templates that are used for Labels and Reports are defined in Options > Advanced tab > 'Report & Label'.
In situations where the Global template is not acceptable, users can override the template in the Equipment, Site (Client), Model Number, or Equipment Type. For example, if a 12mm label is set at the Global level and a different size (larger or smaller) is required for a specific Model Number or Equipment, a different label template can be selected at the Model or Equipment level.
Override Settings
In the Overrides tab of the Equipment dialog, you can override Labels and Reports. The other dialogs that have Label and Report Override ability have similar fields. The template values can be cleared by clicking on the red [X] buttons.
