Getting Started Guide

This page is for new users of the PRL Reporting Software or anyone who would like to review the basic functions of our four software options.

Starting the software

There are a couple of ways to open up the main window:

• Double-click the ‘PRL Option A’ shortcut on your computer’s desktop.
• Click on the Windows Start button and navigate to Programs / Pesticide Reporting / PRL Option A.  Windows 8 users will have a ‘PRL Option A’ icon on their Start Screen.

When you start the program, the Registration form opens.
