Color iQC Help - X-Rite

If you are recalling a colorant, the above dialog will appear slightly
differently. The main difference will be that the choices under Spectral Type will
be limited to two, Reflectance and Transmittance, and you will not be able to
select a data type since only colorants may be recalled from the Recall Colorants
from Database dialog.
The main "Recall from Database" dialog box has been designed to allow
you to specify a particular attribute of the data you wish to retrieve and search
the database for all items containing that attribute. The attribute may consist of
the item's name, any of the parts of a formatted name, or any user groups
associated with that item.
If you choose not to specify any limiting attributes, clicking OK will bring up
a second dialog box (see below) allowing you to select from the entire database.
This means that all of the standards (or whatever data type was specified) in the
database will be retrieved for viewing in the selection dialog. This is not
recommended for a large database since retrieving the data will be timeconsuming.
Specifying Search Attributes for Data Recall
There are seven different attributes you may specify to limit your recall
from the database. These are: Full name, Formatted name, Data Type, Spectral
Type, User Group Designations, Color Search, and Measurements Containing
Formulas.
Data Type may be specified by the option you select from the Data menu,
i.e., Recall Standard, Recall Trial, etc . In case you wish to recall one type of data
into another data type position, a drop-down menu is also provided in the Recall
from Database dialog box to allow you to select the data type. For example, you
may choose Recall Standard and change the data type to Trial using the pulldown
menu. The trial recalled in this manner will be displayed as a standard.
The remaining attributes may be entered into the Recall from Database
dialog box. Two of those attributes, Full name and Formatted name, are
mutually exclusive; that is, you will never really want to use both these fields at
the same time. If you are not using the name formatting option, you should just
use the Full name field. Type in the name of the sample(s) you wish to retrieve.
A partial name may be entered as long as you use an asterisk at the end. The
asterisk tells Color iControl that you are searching on a partial name. For
example, you wish to find all samples beginning with the letters "lan". You would
enter into the name field, "lan*". Color iControl would retrieve all samples with
"lan" as the first three letters.
