1. User Guide Content
This user guide explains the various features of the SimpliTRACE Express application. This data import application is a complementary tool that works with SimpliTRACE and is compatible with the RFID electronic stick readers supported by Attestra. The SimpliTRACE Express application was designed by Attestra to permanently replace the FormCLIC software. With this application, users can import data recorded with a stick reader into SimpliTRACE and therefore produce their declarations more easily. Information is provided throughout the guide to help you use the SimpliTRACE Express application. We strongly suggest that you refer to the guide when needed. The two following pictograms will draw your attention to important advice and information.
The “electric lightbulb” indicates that a tip is available at this point in the guide;
The “exclamation mark” indicates that the information is important.
