Pot Quant Entry

(User Manual)

Browsing

See the navigation page.

On the Finds-Q Pottery layout, you will see a pencil icon next to a link saying 'Go to Data Entry Page.' Clicking that will take you to the layout above. Once there, you will see a link at the top that says 'Q Pottery.' Clicking that will take you back to the Finds-Q Pottery layout.

Clicking the clear dot next to the SU (a) will take you to the SU record. This will open in a new window so that you don't lose your place in the Q Pottery list.

Data Entry-In the field

The layout here mimics the paper form used to fill out the pottery info. Once the form is filled out and checked by the ceramicists, it is entered into the database on this screen. There are some shortcuts that will make this easier but you have to watch out for them so they don't interfere with what you are doing:

• (a) When you make a new record, the SU number is autofilled with the SU of the record before. So when you edit a new page, you have to hand type the SU only once, each subsequent record will keep the SU you typed in.
• Likewise, the Class (b), Date (e), and By (f) all need to be hand entered for the fist time, and subsequent records will keep those values.
• Date Entered (g) will automatically fill in the current date.
• When you have to enter Class (b) or Part the database can autofill the value that you are typing. So for lamp, you should only have to start typing the 'l' and then the database will autocomplete the rest of the word. Tabbing out of that field will enter 'lamp' for that field.

The dates area (c) can be use to enter numerical values (first half of the first century BC, for example would be -100 to -50). The Date Text (d) field is for a textual description of the date.
