Form Designer product documentation

Reports are one of the tools for the simple presentation of data collected and evaluated in Q-DAS applications. Properly configured and used, the reports enable evaluation time to be significantly reduced by providing all relevant information at a glance. With Form Designer, new report templates (forms) can be created, and existing ones modified. For better clarity and comprehensibility, this page contains topic-specific documents structured by the Form Designer functions.

Button Bar Designer product documentation

One of the tools for simplified handling in the Q-DAS applications are the button bars. These are so-called toolbars with individually configurable buttons for access to important or frequently used functions.
The Button Bar Designer is based on the Form Designer. This means that some
functions that were originally developed for the Form Designer are also available in the Button Bar Designer. For example:
sending the button panel as a JPG file via email. For this reason, the Button Bar Designer is bound to the licence of the Form Designer (Q-FD), except in Q-DAS O-QIS MCA/CMM Reporting.

The Button Bar Designer allows manual input of a function code combination to execute commands such as changing the database connection, opening a test plan or bringing another application to the front.

Overview of Q-DAS Script Commands
The Q-DAS scripts allow the automated execution of a sequence of commands that can be triggered from the Button Bar.
