Defining a CBS Site—Basic Data and Requirements Exercises
IMPORTANT |
It is extremely important that you set up and work within the CBS
training site. If you work within any other site, you will not be
able to access a CBS server. To simplify data entry, select the CBS
site as your default site on the
Sites for User window. Also, to keep your data separate from
that of other users, be sure to name all data using your initials as the
prefix. |
