There was confusion; the problem didn’t have any
thing to do with the Number of Mem cards field. The problem was Support Person not knowing enough about GEMS. I should have figured out what Brian
was talking about. Brian wanted to
move his Report Precincts to more than one Vote Center. What he was doing wrong was holding the
shift key down when he moved his Report Precincts into the Vote Center. All this accomplishes is moving the
Report Precinct from one Vote Center to another, not copying them to each Vote
Center. To fix Brian’s problem,
all he had to do was hold the CTRL key down and drag his Report Precincts from
the "Polling Vote Center <default VC>" to the Multiple Vote
Centers. This will in turn copy the Report Precincts to each of their respected
Vote Centers. If I am not clear on this, then whoever is supposed
to be teaching the Support People how
to Support please stand up and
explain clearer. From: Mike Brown To: rcr@gesn.com Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 1999 3:52 AM Subject: Piman - Num. Copies of Memory Cards need to

don't think that they're talking about an AV restriction because there has
never been a restriction on the number of copies made. In the GEMS
1.15.1.1 Vote Center Editor, it allows me to enter values from 1 to 99 in the
No. Mem Cards field. Could it be that the release that they are running
was limited to 10 copies? The
Accu-Basic reports have been formatted using 2 digits for the copy number which
could cause problems if they tried to make copy number 100. The 1.94 AB
interpreter will truncate the digits after the first 2 so 100 would print as
10. If they are going to go over 99 AV memory card copies, we would need
to add a digit for the memory card label format.
Guy I think there might be a
confusion here between number of memory cards in a vcentervs copies of
memory cards. The vcenter num mem cards field refers to seperate
memory cards. Perhaps that is what Mike meant. That number was indeed
bumped to from 10 to 99 during the 1.13 series, but it was actually bumped too
high. The maximum for a 1.94 AccuVote should be 26 -- we use a single
letter in the "POLL CTR" label field to specify the machine number of
the vote center. There is no GEMS limit on the number of download copies
(although I guess it should limit to 100 as guy points out). Mike, is my
assumption correct and is 26 enough? If its not, what would they do with
26 seperate cards in one polling place? Ken |
