Enquiry into ANY data file during processing can be initiated from any data entry prompt on the screen.  When the enquiry is complete, M2 will return to the same prompt on the ‘initialising’ screen and re-display the screen exactly as it was.

Maintenance of ANY file can be selected during processing.  When the Maintenance is complete, the System will return to where it was.

Searching for items using any cross-referenced data. Partial search of these cross-reference keys is also possible.

On-line calendar facility “hot-key”, with private and company holidays and special diarised events.

On-line calculator facility “hot-key”, with memory facilities.  The result from the calculator can be returned to the program to be used as the entry being made.

Deferred reports and file updates mean that any report or file update can be selected throughout the day and executed at the end of the day.

Ad-hoc reports facility “hot-key” allowing one -off reporting of any data in any file.

Automatically records Full Audit Trail of all transactions processed.

Facility to provide Audit Trail of all file maintenances, providing data such as when executed, from which terminal, what the data was before updating and the resulting data entered.

Alpha jump codes can be used to shortcut the menu hierarchy.  There is a facility to list these codes on the screen and also to list all codes that start with or even containing any sequence of characters.

All Modules include standard M2 facilities such as File-Searching during File-Key entry fields, Screen Dump to the System Printer and Field Edit.

 

Ancillary Functions

Multi-lingual functionality throughout the Application Development Tools allows English, Dutch and German (French scheduled for 1st quarter 1997) applications to be created together.

Facility to customise Screens, Documents, Reports and Menus.

Enquiry screens are completely interactive and can provide a comprehensive window into the whole database within one routine.
