Table Register
The MRI Evolution system is based on a large back end database. This database contains all the Users, Preferences and data entered.
There are a wide range of functions that can be altered within the Table Register; these include; how the text in the drop down menus is displayed or allowing hazards and documents to be associated. It is also the gateway to define compulsory or unique fields that are linked with each table.
