Collect Data

PPG Tutorial

2.Move the Link cursor to the Main Menu frame and click the left mouse button.

3.Move the Link box to the Collect Data frame and click the mouse again. An arrow appears, pointing from the Main Menu frame to the

frame.

4.Select Create > Link from the menubar, click on the Main Menu frame, and then click on the Upload Data frame. A second arrow appears.

The Links you created give the user access to either the Collect Data or Upload Data frame from within the Main Menu.

To adjust a Link, use the mouse to drag the Link’s arrowhead.

To delete a Link, select the ESC key.

Main Menu Access

From each of the action frames, you want to give the user access to the Main Menu. You must create additional Links back to the Main Menu frame. These will be jointed Links that bend at a 90° angle. Complete the following steps:

1.Select Create > Link and click on the Collect Data frame.

2.Instead of clicking directly on the other frame, move the cursor straight up until it is level with the Main Menu frame, and then click the left mouse button.

3.Now move the pointer to the Main Menu frame and click the left mouse button. A jointed line appears.

Jointed Links work just like straight Links, but they give you more flexibility in their placement. If a jointed Link appears jagged, drag its joint until its lines are perpendicular.

To redraw the screen and erase any extraneous lines, click in any blank area of the flow chart

4.Use the same method to create a jointed Link from the Upload Data frame to the Main Menu frame.

Your frame should now look like Figure 79 on page 109.
