PC
Enhancements
Complete
Audit Setup and
Management:
A
complete audit process is
now supported from audit
definition through
detailed tracking
reports. Define
the scope of each audit
by associating a filter
with each audit, for
example: Dept =
Accounting. Track
each audit by viewing a
list of Items to Audit,
Items Audited to date,
Items Missing and
Additional Items that
were audited but are
outside the scope of the
audit.
Multiple audits
can occur simultaneously
and may be done over any
period of time.
Select
Fields for Scanner Input:
Select
up to three fields that
are available for input
on the scanner.
A new screen is
available on the scanner
which makes these fields
available.
Either predefined
or user defined fields
can be selected for
inclusion on this screen.
This feature
enables you to provide an
additional method of data
collection for a subset
of fields.
The selected
fields can be changed at
any time.
Select
Subset of Fields for
Viewing:
Asset
Tracking includes over 30
predefined fields and 20
user defined fields.
Now you can setup
a screen to view a subset
of these fields.
Include up to 8
fields to meet your
specific information
needs.
Support
of Export/Import for
Multiple Key Tables:
The
system level
import/export function,
which enables you to
import legacy data into
ATS, now supports all
tables.
This includes
tables which were not
previously supported due
to the nature of their
multiple key structure.
This includes the
Vendor table and the
Model table.
Enhanced
Filter Management:
Setup, save, or delete
filters defined to help
users narrow the data
viewed.
Improved
Name Aliasing Definition:
Since release 3.0,
administrators have been
able to change the name
of any attribute to
reflect their
environment.
For example,
Department can be
assigned the alias
“Cost Center”.
The alias is then
used throughout the
system, including the
scanner. In
release 4.0, ATS verifies
the content of alias
names to ensure that no
unsupported characters
are used. This
improved data integrity.
Scanner
Enhancements
Select
and Perform Audits:
Audits are setup on the
PC and downloaded to the
scanner.
Pick the Audit you
are working on from a
list and immediately
start scanning.
Audits can be
completed over any time
period and multiple
audits can be worked on
simultaneously.
Upon upload, the
Audit lists, including
items audited, missing
items, and extra items,
are updated and available
for viewing.
User
Defined Scanner Input
Fields:
On
the PC, you can select up
to three fields that are
available for input on
the scanner.
On the scanner, a
new screen is available
where you can scan or
manually enter data into
these fields.
These fields can
be either predefined ATS
fields or user defined
fields.
This expands the
number of fields you
collect via the scanner.
Reporting
Enhancements
Enhanced
Report Configuration:
Significant
enhancements have been
made to enable
flexibility and
configuration of list
reports.
A report
configurator is now
available which enables
you to:
- Modify
Report Group:
Change the report
group in which the
report is listed on
the report generator.
- Modify
the Filter Applied to
a Report:
Setup new filter
for a particular
subset of data and
associate it with an
existing report to
view only the data
you need.
- Configure
Reports to Include
Only Fields You Need:
View a list of
all the fields
available for
inclusion in the
report.
Select the
fields you want to
see.
- Select
the Order of Fields
in a Report:
In addition to
selecting which
fields you want to
see, select the order
the fields are listed
on the report.
Define
New Report Groups:
Create new report
groups to reorganize the
existing reports into
groups that are relevant
to your organization.
Save
Reports to Access Format:
In addition to Excel,
HTML, Text or Word
formats, ATS 4.0 adds the
ability to save any
report to Microsoft
Access format for further
analysis or use by other
applications.
New
Report Group -
Attributes:
For any asset
attribute, you can now
list all the current
values for the ID and
description.
This includes all
predefined attributes
such as Asset Type,
Model, Floor, Site, etc.
This is useful
during the system
configuration.
This is also
useful for setting up
filters since filter
value must be set to the
ID.
