What's New in Version 5 of the
Maintenance Coordinator Software System
Major Enhancements |
|
|
|
- Upgrade the database engine used throughout the program to use newer
versions of Microsoft Access and the ADO technology. This required re-writing a
big majority of the code. While we were at it we redesign much of the program to
enhance its performance while using this newer technology.
- Improved the graphical interface with new tool bars, added graphics to menus and
tabs, and new support for different visual themes. Depending on your operating
system, selectable themes include Default theme, Windows 9x, Windows 2000,
Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2007.
- User accounts have been modified to give better control over what a user can and
can not do within the application and its modules.
- Personal Manager module has been modified to allow users to do all the things
they did before plus we added the ability to track and add work orders and
purchasing documents. These enhancements allow the user to add and view
documents that pertain to them and without having to give them access to other
elements of the program. For many of the users this may now be the only module
they’ll ever need.
