IW APPS is used for searching for information and for creating and printing reports. It is tailored for use by Industrial Waste staff. Choosing an option opens a screen from which you can perform the functions described above. Some screens offer subscreens that provide detailed information. These subscreens are not illustrated in this guide, and they are discussed only briefly.
Blocks are sets of fields that serve a common purpose.
Records are rows of information that detail sampling event results. The prompt line is where you get software status messages. The record count shows the number of records retrieved from the LIMS database. It is the only way to print information from query. With the screen in the clipboard, you can paste it into word processing or spreadsheet software.
