Information

In this month's newsletter I am trying a slightly different approach, based on your feedback.  Many people want a quick read in today's busy work environment:  An easy way to browse through the newsletter without having to scroll through topics that are not of particular interest.  To accommodate this, I have moved to short bites of information with "Read More" options if the topic interests you.  Let me know if you prefer this approach.

On the "let me know" point, I am trying very hard to make sure that I listen closely to your feedback and not just hear what you say.  Our bi-annual survey results are out and there were some excellent, constructive criticism's that I need to address.  If you took part, I would like to express my sincere thanks.  Everyone can can view the overview in our What's New section below.

As always, I hope you enjoy this edition.

Vice President - Business Development

RS-SQL
Tip
Want to sort your filefolders by terminal digit order?

Maybe your customer is a medical facility or an insurance company?  Either way, if they use terminal digit filing it can play havoc with your reports, especially in relation to how they are sorted.  So what is Terminal Digit filing?  Considered by many to be the most efficient of the numeric filing systems, in this system, the last digit or group of digits is the primary unit used for filing. For example, the number 7123490 could be broken down as follows: 71-234- 90, with 90 as the primary unit for filing, 234 as the secondary unit, and 71 as the tertiary unit.

Here’s a question asked of our technical specialists by an O'Neil Strategic Partner during the last month. Why not test your knowledge by seeing if you know the answer?

Question:  I want to add a lot of new locations.  I have already added all my odd numbers (on one side of the racks) and now want to add my even numbers.  I don't want to overwrite the locations that already exist so how do I exclude them?
