PATGuard Work About Records
Select the PATGuard Work About program icon to start the program. Then from the File pop-up select
New to create new records or Open to open an Upload file (xpg) that originated from a PATGuard
database program.
When an Upload file (xpg) is opened in PATGuard Work About, a path and database filename is
displayed. This is the path and database filename from where the Upload file originated in the PATGuard
database program. This is important as it identifies the database that must be updated by a subsequent sss
file created by PATGuard Work About.
Selecting the + symbol next to the database path will cause the next level of the tree to be displayed,
which consists of all the Sites associated with the Upload file.
A + symbol next to a Site will indicate that Locations are contained within that Site. Selecting this will
cause the Locations associated with the Site to be displayed.
