Dive Log Manager Questions
Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2013 3:36 pm
How do you set a default working pressure, size, and material type for your tank? Having to enter this every time for every dive is frustrating...
We put the solution in the Dive Log forum but I thought I would answer here too in case anyone was looking only in this forum.
Essentially, instead of having a "default" for all of the fields including tanks, the idea is that you have a template dive, or just carry the fields of a dive through to future dives. So, you would create your first dive of a trip say and get it filled in the way you want, and then just duplicate that dive for your future dives. This way, information like tanks but also weight and wetsuit and Shop/Trip and water and entry, boat and operator etc etc also have "defaults" that are particular to this trip. For many, the default will change depending on where you're diving.
The "trick" that some use if you want to say keep only 1 set of defaults is to create a "Dive 0" the way you want. And then you can always Duplicate Dive 0 for new dives.
Hope that helps,
