The GRIM-In Process

Enable GRIM-In to have AppliCad look for .GRI files at start-up. When enabled, you can select a GRIM file and have job details from your business system populate fields automatically, reducing manual entry and transcription errors.

🛠️ Enable GRIM-In on start-up

If the GRIM in process is to be used, the operator must tell the software that it should look for GRIM In files to be read at start-up.
​

This is done by selecting the option through the Set-Up > Preference Settings > System Preferences dialog.
​

Select the button ‘Import GRIM File on Start-Up’ to toggle it to Yes.

📂 What happens at start-up

At start-up, the AppliCad software will look for any files with an *.GRI extension.
​

The operator selects the required GRIM file, and all data that has been set up at the business management software end will automatically populate the appropriate fields in AppliCad.
​

✅ Why this helps

This minimises data entry and potential errors in transcribing information from the order form to the software.
