Why
do you need a screen editor? The answer is: to fully customize your system.
While other systems may offer a few “user-defined” fields on some pre-determined
screen and call that “customization”, OPEN4
supports your ability to add completely new information
categories, entire new screens, and much more.
No
system (regardless of price) is going to do everything your way – but our
screen editor allows you to mold the system to your operation
to an extent not possible in most other products. The editor
is specifically designed for a non-technical power user. Your
IT department’s assistance should not be necessary
except in complex cases.
Your
newly added screen/tab/field is immediately known to
OPEN4. It is immediately available to our report writer
and query, and is eligible for field-level security.
And don’t worry
about later releases wiping out your changes – OPEN4
is specifically designed to support changes that you may
make in the future.
Like
the report writer, OPEN4’s screen editor duplicates
the look of the generated final product. You may use
the screen editor to add new fields – where you
want them, to add new tabs – where you want them,
or to create entirely new screens.
You can change labels
on existing screens or add a new subject category to
store data that’s specific
to your organization. You can copy one of our screens and
modify it to yield your own custom version. It only
takes minutes to generate a new customized screen, and
as soon as you’re done, it’s immediately
available to all users.
