Entrypoint is a complete application development package for creating high-performance data entry applications in the Windows operating environment. Entrypoint 3.0 is built around an advanced, scalable, client-server architecture, and uses ODBC to interface with SQL databases for data storage.

Entrypoint interfaces with standard communications products and commercial networks.

Features

  • Powerful security options: 128-bit encryption and the tools to allow or prevent access to different parts of the system for different users.
  • Comprehensive field checking: A full suite of field and form validation checks.
  • Remote data entry: Entrypoint can be installed on a LAN or WAN, and configured for remote data entry.
  • Batch compare utility: This tool compares two batches created from the same application and generates a report of the differences between the batches, detailing any discrepancies in data entry fields.
  • Data export: Entrypoint provides a variety of exporting options to make your data quickly available for statistical analysis. Formats include a customizable text-based output specification, Microsoft Excel (CSV), Access, and XML.
  • Application revision tool: Entrypoint lets you update batches to conform to the new version of the application.

Quick, Easy Development

The Entrypoint Application Developer makes it easy for users to quickly create a wide variety of data entry applications with built-in validation, editing, and export options.

Many options for defining fields and selecting edit checks can be activated with point-and-click operations, including defining range checks, table lookup values, and check-digit validation criteria.

Developers can customize their development environments and create multiple applications and formats (data entry screens) simultaneously. In addition, you can create format specifications for such elements as image backgrounds, field labels, and fields, and then save the specifications as templates.

As you develop your Entrypoint application, you can test it by simply clicking a button.

Data Entry Module

The Data Entry module ensures data integrity through validation during each phase of data entry. Special features include immediate error detection and flagging, re-key verification, data retrieval and validation from lookup tables.

Applications

Designers can create a multitude of business applications. Here are just a few examples:

Billing/invoicing Student registration Litigation support
Document tracking Order entry Accounting
Tax return preparation Inventory Payroll
Customer information Employee benefits Sales analysis

Powerful Procedure Language

Entrypoint's Logic programming language augments its customization potential; developers can create custom edit routines, automate batch external programs and procedures instead of using DLLs.

Host Compatibility

Entrypoint applications can accept data in the best order for efficient data entry, and then automatically reformat completed batches for compatibility with mainframe databases and applications.

Complete Product Support

Phoenix Software International backs Entrypoint with a full range of support services, including clear and concise manuals and online help, a toll-free hotline, web site, training programs, and design consultation.
