All files are indexed, meaning you have instantaneous access to your
information using numerous criteria, and reports run rapidly. FSA
features queries by simple or complex
search criteria. Fuzzy searches on all fields allow
closest matches to misspelled words.
There is a special security feature on the FSA system. A manager
with the master password can limit access to any module, function, or
report to specific users. If a user is not authorized to access a
part of the system, they are prevented from entry. The security
system has five levels: no access; view only; view and add records;
view, add records and modify; view, add, modify and delete. FSA’s full featured modules are:
INTERFACE OPTIONS There is much concern these days about the type of interface an application offers. Many people prefer the Windows style or browser based graphical interfaces. Others prefer the more traditional text-based interface because of it's speed and economy. Most companies need a combination of interfaces either because of varied user preferences or because of already installed equipment. We have chosen UNIX as the preferred server operating system and filePro as the data base engine so we can offer a multitude of interfaces that can all query the same data base information at the same time. Pick and choose from among these options to access our programs: 1. Dumb terminals such as Wyse 50s, 60s, 150s; Tandy dt100s, dt110s; Links; etc. that are serially wired with RS232 cable or silver satin wire. Multiple sessions can be running on each terminal with the use of a product called Facetterm™. 2. The UNIX console or console emulators (pizza boxes) that offer multi session logins and colors on a text based screen. 3. Thin client terminals that use serial or network connections such as the Axel Platine. These are network boxes that plug into a hub or switch and can connect to any server on the network. They offer multiple sessions in color at speeds of 10 megabits per second. 4. PC desktop computers running terminal emulator software such as Anita, IceTen, Procomm, Tiny Term, Term, Anzio, etc. Our favorite emulator is Anita which gives a Windows look and feel. A user can run any Windows application at the same time they are logged into the UNIX system, and switch between applications with the click of a mouse. Data can be copied between the Unix system and Windows applications. 5. A totally graphical interface called fpClient/Server is offered by fp Technologies, Inc., the makers of the filePro data base. This gives a total Windows interface with mouse control, cut and paste, etc. Because of the flexibility of interfaces, a company can satisfy all users within the organization. They can use the text-based interfaces for remote users coming into the system via modem, multiplexer, port server, or similarly slow lines and not see any degradation of speed. Users on a Windows, NT, or Novell network can telnet, SSH, or VPN into the UNIX system with their PCs or thin clients across the Internet. Managers and other users that can not learn anything but Windows are happy with the graphical option. Data input people who despise having to move their hand from keyboard to mouse, can connect using any of the text based methods.
