Store Calibration Certificates


General Topics > How to > Store Calibration Certificates

If you wish to store calibration certificates in electronic format, TrackPro makes it easy to organize the files and retrieve them. 

Consideration for a File Storage Location

  • If possible files, should be stored in a location that is routinely backed up. This will usually be a file server or a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device.
  • Read access to the storage location should be limited to those people that have a need to view the documents.
  • Write access to the storage location should be limited to those TrackPro Users that are authorized to manage certificates.
  • The folder structure that is used is optional and depends on some extent on how the files are named. One possible method is to assign file names based on certificate numbers. Storage folder(s) may then be named by year, item number or agency. Certificates could also be stored in one large folder.
