Internet-AMS Software
Release 1.42 updates the
Action Management System (AMS) with additional minor
usability changes and bug fixes to Release 1.4
Summary of Updates:
1. |
Minor bug fixes. |
2. |
Adding of a "Re-order"
button to Improvement Projects. |
3. |
Activation of the Report
Scheduler. |
4. |
Additional Reports. |
5. |
Revised AMS Main Menu
Structure. |
(1) Minor Bug
Fixes.
These minor changes were to prevent data
being entered where an illogical entry could
possibly create an error. We have also improved usability by
the duplication of some functions and buttons that can now
be accessed from different areas of AMS.
(2) Adding of a
"Re-order" button to Improvement Projects.
Within an
Improvement Project there is now an [R] button that
re-numbers the project Actions starting at 001.00 and
incrementing by whole numbers. This function is used after
all project Actions have been put into the correct sequence
using the Action Order field. New project Actions can also
be slotted into sequence and then re-ordered at any time.
(3)
Activation of the Report Scheduler.
The Report
Scheduler has now been activated. This functionality enables
a user Administrator to set up the automatic running of any
report and the delivery of this report via email to any user
or group of users. This can include reports that are not
openly available to every user of the AMS system. For
example, the CEO can now receive the email delivery of any
special report at (say) 9.00am every Monday. There is no
need for the CEO to log on to AMS, the report is simply
delivered to the CEO's email address as a PDF attachment to
an email. In addition to the email dispatch, there is an
entry made into the CEO's Action Reminders within AMS so
that the next time the CEO logs on to AMS then the report is
just one click away. This automatic email distribution of
reports can also be extended to parties that are NOT users
of AMS (e.g. Non-executive Directors, etc).
(4) Additional Reports.
Three new
reports have been added to AMS.
(a) The "Project Overdue Actions Report" (available to all
users) is located within the Improvement Projects area and
is activated by the [O] button. This report lists all
incomplete project actions that are overdue as at the date
of running of the report.
(b) The "All Projects Overdue Actions Report" (available
only to the Administrator) lists all Improvement Projects
together with all incomplete project actions that are
overdue on each project as at the date of running of the
report.
(c) The "Incidents Overdue Report" (available only to the
Administrator) lists all incidents that are overdue in each
Incident Category across the whole business as at the date
of running of the report.
(5) Revised AMS Main Menu Structure.
The AMS Main
Menu has been reorganized and expanded for more intuitive
use by new users. Fewer clicks are now required to navigate
to key items in the system and the terminology of menu items
has been made more logical for new users of AMS.
The fully expanded menu is shown below.
