Irvine, California — It’s official: O’Neil Software lacks the ability to sit on its laurels, or even loll briefly on a single one. Known worldwide for its innovative records management software, the company just announced their latest release: RS-SQL Version 4.0. And if there’s a practical limit to the number of features you can add to the software to keep record centers running efficiently and profitably, O’Neil isn’t acknowledging it.
“Although O’Neil has ventured and committed over 25 years into developing today’s most advanced records management technology, our customers are the ones who have everything to gain,” notes Ian Thomas, VP of Business Development. “Our days are spent developing newer, more advanced software that lightens the load on record center staff, upgrading our existing product line and thinking ahead to better meet what our customers need to succeed in the marketplace."
The following enhancements translate into great news for O’Neil customers:
RS-SQL® Interface Highlights
A 40 Character Container Short Description Field has been Added for Easy Viewing: Provides users with the option to write a short description regarding the contents of a container. This is easily viewed as a column on a grid, as opposed to a long one (255 characters).
The Length of the Route Field Has Been Increased to Create More Precise Base Routes: Because route planning is an important part of any record center operation, enhancements have been made to several areas of the software to facilitate this function. The length of the Route Field has been extended to 12 characters, allowing the use of full character zip codes for greater accuracy.
O’Neil also added the capability to export the work order grid, enabling users to take this information for import into route planning packages, or for other analysis purposes.
Additionally, changes have been made to the Route Manifest Report (need to deploy reports using the Reporting Services Utility, to make this updated report available). Access to it has been moved to the work order grid, where it's needed the most and simplifies its use, as the user can use the power of mark and unmark in the grid to run reports.
Contained-In Container’s Status Shows Additional Info: Allows you to view the Container Item Status (whether it is in, or out) and Container Status Date Time (the day and time when the file folder went into the container).
Consolidated Transactions for Convenience: A new Reporting Services report has been added to show the account and base transactions that affect each customer.
RSMobile® Interface Highlights
Electronic Receipt Eliminates Paper: Only available for use with the RSMobile Scanner, the eReceipt Only printer sends an electronic receipt to the RS-SQL database, rather than a physical receipt to the printer. If the Event Notification feature is set up, the receipt can then be sent to the interested parties. The receipt does not appear in RS-SQL until you have uploaded the work order. Additionally, an eReceipt can be immediately uploaded to the RS-SQL database, rather than the driver having to return to the record center to upload the work order.
RSWeb.NET Interface Highlights
Quantity in Cart Clearly Displayed and Cart Link Provides Quick Navigation to the Cart Page: Consistent with many online stores, a new Cart link has been added to the top right-hand corner of the screen, right next to the Logout link. It shows the number of items in the user’s cart and provides quick navigation to the Cart page.
Grid Changes Now Support Unicode: Unicode is a worldwide character standard used in all the major languages written today including European, Middle-Eastern and Asian scripts. These characters can now be displayed in RS-SQL.
