Hello and welcome to the BAT Menu
Navigation Video. Administrators and auditors
when logging in will be brought to different locations.
That is because they have different roles and access privileges.
To start this video, we are looking at the first page for an administrator.
This is in the contact page in the administrator menus
to get to the landing page for an auditor, select
the real property button on the top right of the header.
As I am doing now,
administrators will be able to see
every building in their version of the BAT,
while auditors or users will only be able to see buildings
that they are given access to from their administrator.
As you can see, there are filters at the top of the page
to make searching for specific buildings easier.
I will now apply a filter and select a building
to enter the energy Audit menu for that building.
This is
the page where auditors will be entering data.
On the left is the preflight
input in black boxes in the middle in blue
is the energy audit input menus.
In the bottom, middle in red, are the FCA input menus.
On the right in green are the post audit menus.
For more information about these sections,
please see the respective tutorial video
or consult the user guide for the BAT.
Go ahead and select HVAC in the energy audit menus
as I am doing now for a description of additional buttons.
The most important command button is the save button.
It can be found on each data entry page above the photo box in green
MS Access functions differently than many other applications in the data
entered into fields is not actually saved until they are committed to the database.
This typically requires that either
the user moves to a different record or the record is saved.
In general, clicking the save button after the user fills out
information on a given input form is the safest
and best way to ensure that data is not lost.
The undo button will undo the user's last data
entry and revert to a fresh record.
Note that not all actions can be undone.
The duplicate button duplicates a saved record.
This is useful on forums where very similar information
may be entered multiple times, such as with lighting entries
or building envelope information.
The add new button simply adds a new record for entry,
but does not save the current entry.
The Add Space
Button is used to add a new space during data entry
and is available in menu of the energy audit Input menus.
The take photo button logs
a timestamp on the data entry to be used in tandem
with a photo taken on another device.
After the audit,
Photo processing will allow the attachment of photos taken to entries
and this timestamp makes it easy to sort and attach.
The load
Photo button allows you to add a photo directly to an entry from the computer
useful for when time stamps don't line up
or a photo was taken without pressing the take pictures
button on the BAT. To navigate away from this page to a related sub form.
You can press any of the buttons on the left side, as I am doing now,
to return to the Energy Audit Home page.
You can select the main audit button on the header.
However, if you wish to go to another input form such as domestic hot water,
you can use the dropdown titled Energy Menus Link
and then select the desired location as I am doing now.
