RADAR 87 • December 2005

Welcome to the first edition of the RADAR Tips newsletter, providing you with shortcuts and tips to simplify working with the RADAR PC 2010 software.

New in PARTS – Hold button enhanced

RADAR PARTS screen capture, Hold button enhanced

You’d picked a daypart for a series of parts that you’d like to add for your rotation plan and hit the Hold button. You clicked away, adding a series of networks. Suddenly you came to a Multi-Daypart Program (MDP) network and the Hold button lost its grip!

Now, beginning with RADAR 87, the Hold button stays put, even when you're adding MDP networks, letting you easily add a whole group of networks with fewer clicks!

Add All Units in Selected Part(s) – New Feature

Add all units in Selected Parts screen captureAs you add Parts to your rotation plan, you’ve decided to add all the units available in each Part. In the past, you had to know how many units were available, maybe looking first in Scan or Targets or clicking the Parts View button then counting all the units.

Now … you can just click the new Add All Units in Selected Part(s) button, which displays the number, and it will appear in the Number of Units box. Then click the Add Part button and move on to your next Part.

Much faster!
