Rice Lake TransAct 2.0 - Manual (Page 115)

114 Appendix
The category name is displayed in the Title section. To activate main
category 2, enter the new category name you would like directly after
Title= . Each main category can have up to two subcategories, defined by
SubCat1Title and SubCat2Title . To define the subcategories, enter
the subcategory names directly after SubCat1Title= and SubCat2Title= .
Save the change in Notepad, then exit Notepad and restart TransAct. The
new category then appears on customer accounts and on Weigh forms.
Example 1: Changing Category Names
Let’s use a solid waste operation for an example. When you installed
TransAct, you set up Hauler and Refuse as your two categories; however,
instead of Refuse you prefer to use the word Product.
Open Notepad. Select File | Open. Find transact.ini in the Windows
subdirectory and open the file as described above. Scroll through the text
until you find the following lines.
[Category 4]
Title=Refuse
SubCat1=
SubCat1Title=
SubCat2=
SubCat2Title=
Position the cursor at the end of the word Refuse and press the Backspace
key to delete the word Refuse . Enter the word Product exactly as you
would like it to appear in TransAct. Note: This entry is case-sensitive—if
you do not capitalize the letter P, it will not be capitalized in the program.
You should see the following:
[Category 2]
Title=Product
SubCat1=
SubCat1Title=
SubCat2=
SubCat2Title=
Save the file and exit Notepad. Open TransAct to verify the change has
taken effect. The previously-named Refuse category should now be named
Product.
Example 2: Adding Categories
Let’s assume that in addition to the two categories TransAct automatically
