About the Measurement Data Entry (MDE) Workspace

The common measurement data section appears at the top of the Measurement Data Entry workspace, and allows you to define values that will be distributed to cells in the corresponding columns for each Thickness Measurement Location (TML) listed in the data entry grid.

The Common Measurement Data section provides three boxes in which you can enter data:

• Measurement Taken Date
• Measurement Taken By
• Temperature

You can customize this section to make additional boxes available. Data entered in these boxes becomes the default value in the corresponding cell in each row.

Changes to the common measurement data section will not be applied to any rows in the data entry grid that already contain data.

The data entry grid appears below the common measurement data section. The grid will be populated with one row for each TML linked to the record that you selected when accessing the Measurement Data Entry workspace.

By default, the grid is sorted in ascending order according to the value in the TML ID column.

Some TMLs will require you to enter multiple readings, as determined by the value in the Number of Readings field in a TML. You can enter multiple readings on the data entry grid by specifying the values separated by semi-colon or by selecting in the row corresponding to a TML. A measurement value will be determined based on the readings.
