For those of you we haven’t already added this tab for, we apologize for being a little behind on sending out this announcement. That said, let me introduce the new Test/NewSAT Tab for AdmitGold.
If you prefer to have us do this for you, just open a support ticket and we’ll make sure it gets done. For those of you who prefer to do it yourselves, just follow the steps below to add this tab to your installation of AdmitGold. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, please don’t hesitate to open up a support ticket as well.
- Log in to AdmitGold as MASTER or equivalent.
- Switch to the Details tab, you may need to activate it if it’s not already available. (You may need to go to Tools | Options | Record tab | Tabs button)
- Inside the Details tab, Right-click and select New…
- Bring up the Lookup list for the Detail field.
- Click the New button and enter in the value “Test/NewSAT” exactly as shown below.
- Click OK.
- Click the Select button to select this new entry.
- Click the Setup tab and fill in the information exactly as shown below.
- The value in Field1 is: Taken(YYYY/MM)

- If you are unable to locate the lookup list to import, the lookup items can be created manually or copied later from one of the other Type fields. Once imported/entered, they should look like the image shown below.

Next we will need to create the new fields in the Detail Extract tab in preparation for an updated version of DX, which should be ready in the next week or so.
Preparing the Detail Extract Tab
Though the programmer is still working on the code for Detail Extract, we wanted to make sure everyone was ready before rolling out the new executable. The goal will be to form a screen that looks like this:
to a screen that looks like this:
Which basically means, making room for the new fields and adding them into your system. Now, there is no easy way to make room for the new fields besides grabbing each field, one by one, and moving them, approximately 3 rows down.
