Pronto Xi TrueForm Server
An essential component of TrueForm that performs the operational tasks to ensure forms are created & distributed accordingly. It resides on a Windows-based server and provides administrative functions such as printer queue configuration, management of log files, license administration and access to the reprint manager.
Additionally, it supports sophisticated extensions to screen logic by allowing you to add "triggers" to Pronto Xi fields that can pop-up other Pronto Xi screens or third party applications as required.
Screen Customiser gives you the power to ensure that time using Pronto Xi is spent efficiently and that input errors are minimised. It results in faster processing, reduced costs and improved user morale.
The types of things you can modify using Screen Customiser include:
Change screen prompts and fields
Change position, text, font, colour and display size of screen prompts and their associated fields.
Change field defaults
Field defaults may be predefined for different operators or different levels of operator. For example, all Sydney based operators may want the default warehouse to be "SYD".
Hide screen prompts, fields and buttons
If a field is not necessary because it will always contain the same value or is not used you can remove it from the user interface.
Add screen, field or button triggers
Launch a process external to the basic logic of the screen based on a user activity. For example, calculate the default value of a field based on previously entered information or send an e-mail to a manager if a sales order exceeds a specified dollar amount.
Create User Defined Buttons
Create additional buttons on a screen to launch processes that you define.
Add Calculated or Lookup Fields to Data Grids and Forms
Ensure that the screen being used is as information-rich as you like by including data from other tables or information that is calculated on the fly.
