Ad
Hoc Reports
One of the most powerful user features in IDS is the Ad Hoc Reporter.
Users can easily create reports with multiple groups and subtotals
per group with no programming or syntax knowledge required. Administrators
can publish data from tables or views and specify available columns
and their formatting. |

Custom
Forms, Reports, and Processes
Developers are provided with a broad set of tools for constructing
live data entry forms, filterable inquiry screens, specialized
reports for preprinted stock, and dynamic batch processes for
automated tasks. Modal dialogs can also be constructed to process
user input related to a form, report or process. |

Heterogeneous
Data Access
IDS supports any standard ODBC database (such as SQL Server, Oracle,
or Sybase) as well as other common formats (including Access,
dBase, Excel, and ASCII text). Database connections are table-driven,
and thus can be easily re-routed as needed. |

Intuitive
Interface
Our Explorer-style menu tree provides easy access to forms, reports,
processes, web sites and even other applications. We employ an
elegant set of form controls that users can quickly master. Administrators
can modify look and feel of the interface with no coding required.

Built-In
Security
IDS includes a group-based security system that is flexible and
powerful while remaining easy to define and maintain. Users may
belong to multiple groups, inheriting rights from the most trusted
group to which they belong. Menu tree items may be hidden from
specific user groups; visible items are launched with add/change/delete
rights. IDS recognizes underlying database rights and data integrity
rules. |

xVBA
Code Library
IDS includes the xVBA code library. xVBA functions and procedures
range from high-level commands that manipulate objects and databases
to low-level commands that parse tokens and characters. xVBA objects
provide interfaces to the menu tree system, security, lookup tables,
environment options, setup tables, Ad Hoc reports, and more. Copy-and-paste
controls and shortcut launchers are also included. |
