Templates
As you set up your database for the first time or add new records to a working database, you will soon find that many records
look alike. To save you typing time, you can define a set of 10 different "data templates" with the Alt-Fn key. Then you can
retrieve a template to fill in a new data record with the Shift-Fn key.
To define a template:
1. Press F9 to start a new record
2. Fill the template in the data window with information that stays the same for your users. (leave the DID number field
blank)
3. Press and hold Alt and select one of the ten Fn keys
4. This will assign the template to the Fn key you select.
To use a template:
1. Press F9 to start a new record
2. Press and hold Shift and select one of the ten Fn keys
3. This will fill the fields on the screen with the info. from the template. If a field in the template is blank, the
information on the screen for that field will not be affected.
Your templates are automatically saved along with the database information when you complete your editing so you can use
them next time.
Find/Search
When your DID user database gets large (more than a few hundred users), it is difficult to locate a particular user by scrolling
up and down the database with the PgUp and PgDn keys. To make your life easier, the GTI configurator can search and find a
particular user by their DID number.
To find a particular user:
1. Go to the Index Screen.
2. Select (highlight) the desired system and press the Enter key.
3. Press the F8 key to move the cursor into the DID Number field in the DID NUMBERS window.
4. Type the desired DID number into the field and press the Enter key.
5. If a record for the desired DID number is found, it will be shown in the DID NUMBERS window.
6. If a record for the desired DID number is not found, the record for the closest DID number found will de shown and
the GTI configurator will beep and display the message "CAUTION! Not exact match".
DATABASE TRANSFERS
Once you have edited your system, telco and user information as needed, the GTI configurator has produced computer files
on your office computer with your programming data. To send these files to your telco system, select the COMM UPDATE
menu item. This option will activate the modem in your office computer to dial the system, enter the passwords, and update
the GTI units' databases.
Make sure that you have the System Access, Baud Rate, and PC Comm Port set correctly in the System Config for your
particular installation. Remember that if you are in your shop connected through the GTI unit's front panel, set the System
Access to "L". If you are dialing into your system through the GTI unit's internal modem, set System Access to "I" and fill in
the system's telephone number. If you are dialing into your system through an external modem connected to the front panel of
the GTI unit, set system access to `X'.
Select whether you wish to update the System Config, Telco Config, DID User number, just the Changes since the last update,
or the Entire Database. The GTI configurator will give you information in the Status window as it performs the update.
