Other Functions

There are several buttons and menu items available on the registration form that can help you prepare and submit your PRL report.

Save Identity

  • File – Save (or Alt-F, S)

Saves the contact and identity information on the registration form to the identity.txt file in the report year folder. Contact and identity information is automatically saved when you exit the program, open a PRL Form, or start Upload Report, but this menu option lets you save the identity information whenever you want.

Change Report Root

...

  • Alt-T, R)

The Report Root is the parent folder for your PRL reports. It contains a folder for each Report Year; the sub-folders are named PRLyyyy, where “yyyy” is the report year. For example, if you set the Report Root to C:\PRL and create reports for 2011 and 2012, the C:\PRL folder will contain two subfolders: PRL2011 and PRL2012. The initial Report Root was set when you installed Option A; unless you change the default setting, the installation package set Report Root to C:\. However, you can change the Report Root at any time.

Why change the Report Root? Most users will not need to change the Report Root from whatever choice they made during installation. However, some users might desire more than one Report Root. For example, if you need to enter PRL reports for more than one business (e.g., if you complete PRL reports for several clients), you might find it convenient to create a separate Report Root for each business. This approach will help you to keep the identity information and report files for each business separate.

When you select the “Change Report Root” command, a standard Windows dialog opens to let you select the Report Root folder. You can create a new folder at this time or pick an existing folder. If the PRLyyyy subfolder does not yet exist for the current report year, it is created. If the identity.txt file already exists in the Report Year folder, it is opened and the contents loaded into the contact and information boxes of the Registration form; if the identity.txt file does not exist, the contact and identity entries from the Registration form are saved to a new file.

Report files are not automatically moved from the previous Report Folder to the newly selected one.

Change Report Year

The Report Year is the year in which the pesticide applications or sales that you are reported occurred. The current Report Year is prominently displayed near the top of the Registration form and each PRL data form. The current folder for report files is the PRLyyyy subfolder of the Report Root, where “yyyy” is the Report Year.

To create or edit PRL form files for a different Report Year, choose the Change Year button or menu item. You will be prompted for the year to which you want to change. You may not enter a future year.

If the Report Year folder (PRLyyyy) for the new year does not exist, it is created. If the identity.txt file already exists in the Report Year folder, it is opened and the contents loaded into the contact and information boxes of the Registration form; if the identity.txt file does not exist, the contact and identity entries from the Registration form are saved to a new file.

Report files are not automatically moved from the previous Report Folder to the newly selected one.
