Picture Perfect 4.6
User Manual
Overview
The ability to run Data Generator is governed by your system permission profile. The ability to run
templates is governed by your facility permission profile. The action permission Run Templates must
be enabled on the Facility Permissions Profile form. This function allows you to generate new
records based on a template.
There are two ways to use templates:
• Generate new records of the same type using the Run Template option on the form toolbar.
When a template is run, a Wizard guides you through the necessary steps to create a new
record for the form.
• Generate and link all records required to set up a particular device using the Run Template
Group option on the toolbar of the Data Generator form. The Data Generator guides you
through the necessary templates required for all the associated records.
Running templates
All Picture Perfect forms, with the exception of the system forms such as Facilities, and the various
monitors, allow you to run a wizard to create new records based on a template. Your system is
installed with some default templates that you may use or you can create your own. See Managing
templates on page 316.
