This procedure selects a model code to use as a labour code or level filter criterion when you browse to a level. You also use this procedure as part of the procedure to delete a model code record.
To find a model code:
Click Models on the Labour codes/times maintenance form.
The Models form is displayed.
If the grid does not contain the row representing the model you want, enter the Grid column and Filter text to specify it (or a range of model records containing it) and click Refresh.
The grid is re-populated with models, including the one you want.
Tip: If the grid remains empty, check that Grid column is correct for your Filter text. For example, if you entered descriptive text in Filter text, you should select a Grid column of Description rather than Model code or Slot.
Note: If you are using this procedure as part of the procedure for Deleting a Model Code Record, return to that procedure (skip the next step in this procedure).
Select the grid row for the model you want and click OK.
You are returned to the labour codes/times maintenance form with the Show times for option button on the Filter tab selected and your selected model in the Model box.

The grid is populated with models, including the one you want to delete.
Select the grid row representing the model you want to delete and click Delete.
A Delete this model? dialog box displays the following message:
Warning: Do you want to permanently delete this model ([model code]) and ALL times defined for it?
Click Yes.
You are returned to the Models form with the selected model row deleted from the grid.
