Adding in-house and custom data (Jul 2)
While Granta is able to supply highly comprehensive materials reference data, you will often want to build on this, adding in-house data, supplier data on specific grades, the latest material developments, or perhaps the latest 'wonder material' publicized in the press… This session will look at different options for adding data and when each technique should be used. Whether you have been using CES Selector for many years, or have only recently started working with it, register for the regular training sessions (at no additional cost) to be kept up to date with agendas and joining instructions.
Once registered, you will receive automated joining instructions from the e-mail address webex@messenger.com in advance of each session. You may like to add this address to your 'safe senders' or 'whitelist' to ensure that you always receive your user id and password in your inbox. Feel free to invite your colleagues to register—they will also need their individual registration ID to be able to join the session.
