Coverage Detail

In this topic we continue our discussion of the Coverage command located on the Tables Menu.

The process for adding, changing, or removing a coverage begins on the Coverage Detail tab. You can add, edit, or view coverage information. Multiple tabs are employed to assist you with quickly adding or locating information.

In this topic, we are going to explain the first steps to adding a coverage. In separate topics, we explain the options on the remaining tabs in the dialog box.

  1. To begin, click Coverage on the Tables menu.
  2. On the Coverage Table tab, click Add.
    1. You can select a coverage and click Copy to copy an existing coverage. You can change the copied coverage to meet your needs and create a new coverage.
    2. If you want to change an existing coverage, you can select the coverage, click Edit, and then modify our steps to make the necessary changes.
    3. To remove a coverage, select the coverage, and then click Delete.
