How to set required Readings for an Event type (Voyage)

It is possible to set up that certain voyage event types require the user to enter readings for specific Measurements in the Trend Analysis Module.  This set up process is performed by a system administrator at the office installation and requires two separate processes.  The first is to define a group of trend measurements on each unit that you want readings to be collected for in relation to a voyage event.   Creating Trend groups is covered in the Trend Analysis Module user manual.  To this group you will then need to assign a Trend Group Category in the following manner

1. Go to Inventory à Trend analysis
2. Right Click on the group you wish to set a group category for
3. Select [Open]

1. Click in the ‘Group Category Field and select a category
2. Click [Save and Close]

You will then need to assign the same Trend Group Category to the Voyage Event Type that you wish to require readings.  This is done in the following manner

1. Go to Administration à Codes
2. Select The ‘Voyage Event’ code table from the drop-down selector
3. Double click the Voyage event type that you wish to require readings

1. Click in the Trend group category field and select the same category as you did for the trend group
2. Click [Save and Close]

From now on, every time this particular event type is added to voyage, it will require readings to be entered for any measurements which are contained within a trend group that has the same category.
