Company and engineers

After you have installed Pirform, it is quick and easy to get started working on certificates.

Company information

Open Pirform, and click the Company and Instruments tab, located at the bottom left of the Home Screen. Enter the company name, address and other details that you want to appear on your certificates.

Company and association logos

You can now set up the company and association logos that you want to appear on your certificates.

While still in the Company and Instruments tab, click Select Company Logo and select the the company logo you want to use. You will see a preview of how it will appear below the company address.

Add your association logo in a similar way by clicking Select Association Logo.

Getting the image size correct

The sizes for the areas Pirform uses for your logos are shown in the table below.

Pirform will stretch the image to fit this space so you don't have to make yours exactly the same size. Generally, if your images are the same proportions then they will look fine.

If you need to, you can easily edit images using an image editing program such as the Paint program that comes with Windows - click here to read how to use Paint.

Test instruments

Now click Test Instruments to go to the area where you can set up your instruments. It is easiest to do this before you add the engineer so that we can associate the right instruments with the engineers when we add them later.

From here click Add Instrument in the ribbon and enter the details of the instrument in the grid.

Engineers

Now click Engineers and External Companies to go to the area where you can set up your engineers. From here click Add Engineer in the ribbon and enter the details of the engineer.
