What's New in Version 5 of
the
Maintenance Coordinator
Software System
Major Enhancements
-
Upgrade the database engine used
throughout the program to use newer versions of Microsoft Access and the ADO
technology. This required re-writing a big majority of the code. While we
were at it we redesign much of the program to enhance its performance while
using this newer technology.
-
Improved the graphical interface
with new tool bars, added graphics to menus and tabs, and new support for
different visual themes. Depending on your operating system, selectable
themes include Default theme, Windows 9x, Windows 2000, Office XP, Office
2003, and Office 2007.
-
User accounts have been modified
to give better control over what a user can and can not do within the
application and its modules.
-
Personal Manager module has been
modified to allow users to do all the things they did before plus we added
the ability to track and add work orders and purchasing documents. These
enhancements allow the user to add and view documents that pertain to them
and without having to give them access to other elements of the program. For
many of the users this may now be the only module they’ll ever need.
Other Enhancements
-
New Purchasing Document Creation
Wizard in the Purchasing and Receiving module.
-
New User Defined fields added to
the Purchasing module that can also be setup to be printed on Purchase
Orders.
-
We improved our built in text
editor and then made it available to every area of the program we thought it
would be useful.
-
New, more graphical monthly
calendar in the Maintenance Scheduler module. View and edit tasks in day,
week, work week and month views. The database can also be sorted to view all
tasks, view for a single mechanic, or a single machine.
-
New Email Composer added to
Maintenance Scheduler module. This makes it a lot easier to email work
orders.
-
New work order audits. Create check lists to
audit how a task has been completed, and to ensure that it was meets safety
and other required standards.
-
Equipment and Asset module now
have a listing of all the work orders associated with that equipment. Work
orders can also be printed from within this module.
-
Now assign default safety
instructions to equipment. This way as new work orders are created, they are
automatically assigned these instructions.
-
The Equipment module now supports
the import and export of Equipment Meter collection to and from Excel
spreadsheets.
-
Add documents links to the
Documents Feature used throughout Maintenance Coordinator. Documents can be
linked, be images or use the internal word processor.
-
Added a PDF export option for documents 6
pages and under to the built-in editor (word processor) used throughout the
program. This effectively gives you a small PDF writer.
-
Added an Equipment Bill of Materials List,
allowing you to track and assign all the materials needed and used by each
asset.
-
And much more.
