The database provides relatively advanced abilities for users to identify records to be viewed, edited, or included in reports.
The database providse a record selection
form corresponding to
each major information area managed by the database. Each of these
forms allows the user to specify record selection critiera
to identify records of interest.
The user then is offered an opportunity to review a summary display of the records matching their specificiations. The user may then choose to:
Reports include a description of the selection criteria for represented records
Reports designed for printing of mailing labels, generation of
data to be sent to a mailing service, etc offer the user the
ability to simultaneously create a set of outreach
records
to represent this communication
The underlying tools used to provide selection tools is constructed to provide great flexibility. It is possible for a developer to provide users the ability to select records based on nearly any data available in the database
The database provides capacity for users to store and retrieve
record selection criteria entered on a record selection
form.
Selection criteria are stored in the server
portion of the
database. As a result, criteria stored by one user may be readily
used by others.
Users may readily search for stored selection criteria using:
person selection,
donation selection, etc)
Database administrators and developers may readily alter stored selection criteria as needed
