View Menu - Information Sheet

Summary

The Information Sheet, accessible through the View menu, allows users to create a summary of project details that can be included with the hydraulic calculation reports. When the command is first used for a job, a dialog box appears offering options to start a new blank sheet or load information from an existing job. Users can choose from various standard information sheet formats, including NFPA Info Sheet, RESIDENT (for residential systems), STANDARD (generic), STDwTEST (with water supply info), and STNDPIPE (for standpipe systems).
