Tests
By Engineer Utility
The Tests By Engineer utility which is available to freely download from the simplypats website is a utility designed for those users that wish to know how many tests have been done by a particular engineer over a particular period.
This utility will search all the SimplyPats Version 6 or Version 5 files in your data folder and calculate how many tests were done by each engineer by day. You can if you prefer select a particular date range for example to display the tests done by each engineer during the last month. This may be handy if you pay your engineers by test, or you wish to see which engineers are performing better than others!
You can also select a particular Engineer to display just his or her tests during the specific date range.
Once the data has been calculated (and this may take some time if you have a large number of files) a report is displayed which you can then either print or export as an excel spreadsheet.
In addition to the Tests By Engineer report there is a Tests By Month report which you can select from the Report drop down. This report shows the total number of tests done by month for all engineers.
Find
(Quick Key Press CTRL+F)
This command works with the two date selection controls and the Engineer drop down.
Use the two calandar controls to select your date range (eg last month) and if you desire just and individual engineer (select <<< ALL ENGINEERS >>> to list all the engineers found) and then click on the Find button. The report will then display the tests done by each engineer (or just the specified engineer) during this period.
File Menu - Path
(Quick Key Press CTRL+P)
From the file menu selecting this option will allow you to change the folder which is searched for data files. This is handy if you keep your data organised into this years and last years data for example. The utility will start with the same path to your data that the main SimplyPats program is set to.
File Menu - Export Report As Spreadsheet
(Quick Key Press CTRL+E)
This option will prompt your for a file name and export your report to an excel spreadsheet. You can then do further calculations on the data.
File Menu - List
(Quick Key Press CTRL+L)
The list command will open a new window and show you a list of all the SimplyPats Version 6 and Version 5 data files that have been read to create this report. Its worth checking this to make sure you have selected the correct data path where you have more than one folder used to store you SimplyPats data files.
