Recipe Description Tab

Recipe Box

This is exactly the same as in the Recipe to Analysis tab sheet except that it is disabled.

Comments

Any comments about the glaze recipe , such as colouring oxides and firing, should be placed here. The layout (maximum 13 lines) is copied verbatim in the recipe printout.

Print Icon

Double click on the bucket to open the Print window. If this window is covering the recipe window, you should move it to one side. Then click on the glaze bucket again but this time hold the mouse button down and drag the print icon into the print position of your choice.

Type

A code can be used to categorise your recipes, you may decide to use the first 2 of the 12 characters as:

Tr = Transparent
Op = Opaque
Tl = Translucent

You may decide the third and fourth characters will be one of the following:

Ch = Chun
Tn = Tenmoku
Sf = Sang de Boeuf

You will then be able to use the Recipe Search Window to list say, all translucent Chuns by searching for the type "TlCh".

Name

A unique name must be given to the recipe in this box before it can be printed or added to the database.

Cone Equivalent

Choose the cone which you think is equivalent to the maturing temperature of your glaze recipe from the pulldown list.

Date Created

If this recipe is new, today's date will be displayed, otherwise it will have the date the recipe was first added to the database. To change the date to today's date you will have to remove the recipe from the database and then add it back again.

Add

The recipe will be added to the current database if it has been given a name and it does not already exist. If you have chosen a name that is already in the current database, you will be asked if you wish to overwrite the old one by saving any changes.
