How to access Data Entry, downloading the Data Entry program, and information about creating a Data Entry login name.
Explanation
Crash Magic includes a desktop application providing data entry access to your crash data. This application provides validation lookups within a field, and a full expression based validations for any criteria you wish to setup for validation. This is also useful for editing your database, but please keep in mind if you are also importing data, you may overwrite any edits made from the data entry application during importing. Please contact Pd’ Programming if this is a possibility.
Solution
1. Data Entry Access. If you do not see a Data Entry button as an option when logging into Crash Magic, it wasn’t included in your configuration. In order to gain access, you will need to contact your Crash Magic administrator. This person can add new logins to Crash Magic. If they need instructions for adding a new user, that information can be found here: Steps for adding a user to Crash Magic
- You will need to log in to the Analysis side of Crash Magic, and navigate to the green Downloads tab at the top right of the screen.
- Once there, on the bottom you will see a file listed, Crash Magic Desktop Utils.msi. Choose this file and hit the download button. Then run it, accepting all the defaults the installer has chosen for you (click through the buttons and finish the install).
- Log out of Crash Magic.
