2 COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Human Resources COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator Each Module within Integrator comprises two types of Screen Format – the first is the Browser Screen : In this example, the Browser represents the Module for Employees… …other Browsers may be associated with Accidents, Training Courses, Job Positions… Data is presented in a Tabular Form, with Rows representing Records, for example Employees… …and Columns representing the Data Fields being displayed. (Title, First Name, etc.) Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo. An Overview of How Integrator Operates Although extremely powerful in its presentation of Data, no input is required – the Data is drawn seamlessly from the Detail Screen’s Data.

3 COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Human Resources COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator The second Screen Format is the Detail Screen - this takes the User to the Details associated with the Record. In this example, the Detail Screen will relate to the Employee, and is launched by double clicking the Employee’s Row, or selecting the Row and clicking the Details icon… Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo. An Overview of How Integrator Operates

4 COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Human Resources COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator Each Detail Screen has a number of Tabs, each relating to a particular aspect of the Record (in this example, the Record is an Employee, Andy Kenny)… Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo …other Tabs are Generic (such as Addresses, Documents and Photo’s), and are made available whenever they are deemed to be appropriate… The first of these will be Bespoke and relate specifically to the Module (or Browser), in this case Employees… An Overview of How Integrator Operates

5 COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Human Resources COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator When an additional Record is to be added, a blank Detail Screen may be launched from the Add New Record icon… Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo In the case of New Records, each of the Data Fields are blank, other than positions where Default Data has been pre-formatted. An Overview of How Integrator Operates

6 COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Human Resources COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator In each instance, the Input Fields are designed to accommodate Data that the User may wish to associate to the Record. Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo As with many powerful systems (Excel, Word…) once a User is familiar with the system, they will develop their level of Input and benefit from the corresponding increase in Output. In the early stages of developing Integrator, the User may choose not to use many of the Fields and to keep the system simple and thereby quick to set up. Integrator is developed with this in mind, although it may appear demanding on first sight, it need not be. The main point is that Users will not find it to be limited later on, which is all too often the case with simple systems. An Overview of How Integrator Operates

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator The Record’s details may be printed from the Details Screen, starting by selecting the Print icon… Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo From the Print Options form, the User may select which of the Details they require to be printed and then proceed to generate the Printed Document… An Overview of How Integrator Operates

8 COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Human Resources COPYRIGHT © 2008 – APEX SOFTWARE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator Back to the Browser Screen – one of its key features is the ability to allow Users to format ‘What is Displayed’ and ‘How it is Configured’. Each of Integrator’s Modules are supplied carefully pre-configured in anticipation of what Users will require on a day to day basis. Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo. However, in the event that Users require alternative views, or as their expertise with Integrator builds up, they have full access to modify the Display and its Configuration to suit their individual requirements.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Integrator Keyboard ‘Down Arrow’ = Go forward Keyboard ‘Up Arrow’ = Go back Keyboard ‘ESC’ = Exit this Demo These 4 Conditional Formatting features enable the Browser’s Data to be Visually Informative. An example of this could be Pre-formatting the ‘Date Started’ column with a ‘Traffic Light’ principle to indicate the state of an Employee’s Probation Period. In this example, the Dynamic Back Colour and Dynamic Text Colour are set to make the Data: Turn Green for the first part of an Employee’s Probation Period Turn Yellow for the last 5 Days of the Period Turn Red with White Text if they have gone beyond the Period and not had the Probation Tick-Box cleared. Used correctly, Users will frequently have conditions brought to their attention without even considering them. An Overview of How Integrator Operates
