Previously done by scribbling into a little space on paper, but now you have to launch the correct app, flick through a couple of options, then navigate to the correct tab, then scroll down to the right box, highlight it, and type. We do own loadsheets, and SOP mandates redoing all loadsheet and perf for the smallest of change.
Sounds like a nightmare. We only have iPads for the charts so far, dreading the next step.
