Additional Advanced Cycle Counting Options

Use the Define Count Selections tab to indicate how you want to generate your counts, such as for RF or non-RF branches or how you want to break up the pick types. The system keeps track of how many counts you have completed and how many you have left. Use the Progress tab to see your current status on your advanced counts.

Note: We recommend creating separate count IDs for RF and non-RF branches.
