| Reports
Based on Crystal Reports 9.0 |
We have added many new
reports to GBMS; all GBMS reports are now based on Crystal Decisions' Crystal
Reports 9.0:
- Browser-based viewing of reports
allows fast and efficient viewing of reports
- Client side printing means
no server side printer sharing is required.
Reports viewed on the browser can be dynamically streamed to the
client machine in Adobe PDF format and printed on the client’s local
printer. Requires
the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software
- Export your
reports in a variety of formats including PDF, XML, RTF and Microsoft
Excel, and then distribute your reports by email, over the Web or in print

reports dictionary makes deploying new reports a snap.
There are no client-side reports files; therefore any new or updated
reports are instantly available to all users once placed in the central
repository

Crystal Reports 9.0 is included, allowing for customization of
existing reports and creation of new reports
| Archiving
& Data Warehousing |
Complete
on-line archiving of transaction data is now available.
This
new archiving tool takes advantage of Microsoft SQL DTS (Data Transformation
Services) moving historical data to a separate data warehouse database.
Access to the archived data is provided with Microsoft SQL 2000 Analysis
services and Crystal Decisions Analysis.
| PocketPC
& CE based Automated Data Collection |
The new
generation of PocketPC mobile devices is supported by a completely new set of
automated data collection programs that have been developed based on the ASP.net
platform. This new program runs the
data collection program from the browser on the device.
There are no programs loaded on the device, thus lowering administrative
tasks. Any update to the
application is instantly available to all devices.
Automated Data Collection applications can also be run from the Browser
from any PC.
