Hi,

Just got my Irex DR1000s, seems to be one of the last available ones. Irex is heavily promoting their 800 series and has put DR1000 hold for now. Anyway.

I want to use my DR1000 to make notes. Mainly to do counts of products and so on which are present in a shop or location.

To do so I want to have a predefined template with columns that I can open up, fill in the details and save similar to the template that comes on the DR1000s as a standard.

If you go to the Irex website and look on the help section it seems to be very simple. Create the PDF you want, put it on the DR1000, select the PDF in companion and click the button "create template".

So far so good. Now I disconnect my DR1000s look in the meeting notes section and don't see a template but just a document that can be edited and save automatically with the data in it.

So contacted Irex Helpdesk where I got the information that the create template service in companion does not work on the DR1000 and that templates are not supported.
Return question is why is there a template on the DR1000 when you buy it. Apprarently it should be possible but they do not know how to get it done.

Anyone who knows how I could get this data in a template that remains the same and just saves into another file which can then be merged or converted with myscript.

Thanks.
