Deleting Slide ID Information through the SLIDE INFORMATION
Button
There are three methods for deleting slide identification information: deleting the slide
identification, case # or a specific slide. Deleting a slide identification enables the removal of a
large group of slides associated with a specific ID. Deleting a case # removes only the slides
associated with the specified case for the specified ID and allows other slides from the same ID
with a different case # to remain on the grid. Deleting a slide removes a specific slide from the grid.
Deleting a Slide Identification
This method deletes all slides associated with the selected slide identification.
1. Select the SLIDE INFO button from the PROGRAMMING GRID. The SLIDE
INFORMATION screen is displayed with the cursor in the Slide ID box.
2. Press the DOWN arrow key until the desired slide identification appears highlighted in the
Slide ID box.
3. Press ENTER and the selected slide identification appears in the Slide ID box. The cursor
moves to the Case # box.
4. Select the DELETE button. A dialog box asks if you want to delete the selected slide
identification.
5. Select the YES button. The record (Slide identification, Case #'s and slides) is deleted
from the system and the cursor is positioned in the Slide ID box.
Select the NO button to return to the SLIDE INFORMATION screen without deleting the
selected Slide ID.
