A worked register example

Follow one caliper from spreadsheet row to retrievable record.

Use CAL-014 to see what moves across in an import, what you add separately, and who receives the reminder. This fictional example uses September 11, 2026 as its review date.

  1. 01

    Prepare one row, then review the import.

    These accepted CSV or XLSX headers describe one instrument. Put the headers across the first row and its values underneath. Replace this example with your own equipment and approved dates.

    Open Instruments → Import. Check the selected worksheet, row count, dates and validation messages before confirming. Use YYYY-MM-DD; slash-text dates require you to choose day/month/year or month/day/year. Fix all blocking issues first.

    What imports: the current instrument details. Certificate numbers are references; this upload does not attach files or create historical calibration events. Existing asset IDs are skipped.

  2. 02

    Check the instrument against the source.

    Find CAL-014 and confirm Digital caliper, Inspection bench, Quality and the September 4, 2026 due date. At this example’s September 11 review, the instrument is overdue. A previous pass does not make an expired due date current.

    Keep the asset ID stable. Use Edit to correct an existing instrument; re-importing the same ID does not update it. Compare the imported count and representative records before retiring the source spreadsheet.

    Review and maintain instrument records →
  3. 03

    Add evidence of work already performed.

    For this example, the existing calibration was performed on September 4, 2025, with a Pass result and a next due date of September 4, 2026. Enter those dates and the result in Calibration queue, then add the provider and certificate reference when available.

    Attach the certificate belonging to that instrument and event, then check that it can be retrieved from calibration history. PDF, PNG and JPEG files up to 10 MB are supported. The sample below shows a fictional reference, with no actual certificate file.

    Recording the old event does not perform a new calibration or approve a new interval. If there is no genuine event or certificate to add, continue with the due dates you already track and set reminders.

  4. 04

    Choose who can act on the reminder.

    A workspace owner or admin opens Alerts and chooses delivery days, lead times, overdue coverage and recipients. The illustrated setup uses weekdays, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before, due today, and overdue instruments included.

    Members receive summaries when their reminders are enabled and the workspace includes them. Assignees need an email address in Owner / assignee: the department label “Quality” alone is not an email recipient. You can also add explicit email recipients.

    Save the settings and use Send preview to check delivery to your own account before relying on the schedule. Failed-calibration notifications are a separate setting; they send only when out-of-service alerts are enabled.

Common questions

What teams ask before they switch

What is a calibration register?

A calibration register is the controlled list of measuring instruments and their key identifiers, locations, owners, intervals, calibration dates, status, and supporting records.

Can we keep our existing instrument IDs?

Yes. A stable asset or instrument ID is a core import field, so the team can keep the identifiers already used on the shop floor and in its procedures.

What happens when an imported row is incomplete?

GagePilot validates rows before import and identifies records that need correction. The team can fix the affected fields without abandoning the complete upload.

Can we export the calibration register again?

Yes. GagePilot includes CSV export for the current instrument register.
