All systems include these standard features:

• Microsoft Access Database Storage - All single-user applications store their data in a standard, password-protected Access database. Access databases are also used by remote users NOT connected to a central (SQL) database in a multiple user system.  Access and SQL are industry-standard database formats supported by Microsoft.

• Multiple Database Support - Each product is installed with a sample database to show you how data should be entered, then follow the simple instructions for setting up your own company database.  You can have a separate database for each business or project if it makes sense to keep your information in separate files and switch between databases at any time.

• Fast Searches make it easy to find what you're looking for... simply click on the Navigator at the left and start typing the first few letters to search.  Or click on any field label (City, State, Country... ) and a popup dialog will prompt you for the search information based on the field type.  For example, date fields will prompt you for a date range, number fields for a number range, phone fields for an area code, memo fields for a value that's "contained" in the field, and standard text fields present a searchable list of all field values in the database so you never waste time search for something that doesn't exist.

• MS Outlook Integration - If you use Microsoft Outlook (any Windows version, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010), you can set an option to synchronize TymeTrax Activities with Outlook Appointments, and/or TymeTrax Contacts with Outlook Contacts.  These options are configurable BY DATABASE and BY USER.

• File Attachments - You can attach any type of file to any record or for general access to keep all external documents with your business data.  Re-attach edited attachments with a simple button click.

• Report Designer - In addition to the many reports included in each package, you can create any number of custom reports using your company logo, signature and information for complete customization.  Export the data behind any report to Excel.  Email reports in PDF format with one click (requires Outlook).  Combine report PDFs into one PDF file in any order.

• Print Labels - Prints return address, mailing & shipping labels; format text fonts/colors, start printing on any label on the sheet.

• Security - Logins are optional in single user systems; required in multiple user apps.

• Archiving Data - All TymeTrax products have TWO ways to easily archive data to keep your databases clean and responsive:

  • One-click Archiving Utility keeps your data in the same database, but out of your daily production data. This type of archived data will still replicate to remote users.

  • Permanent Archiving moves your data to a separate database and excludes it from replication.  Users can access the data from each page by simply clicking the 'Archive' button, which displays a full navigator of the archived data and each record in a print preview format.  Archived records can be printed and copied back to the production database if needed.

• Import & Export functions allow you to move your data with support for these formats:  Access, Excel, tabbed text, comma-separated-values.  Access databases can be zipped for backups with one click.

• Custom Views and Exports - Setup custom data views and exports that can be run anytime by anyone.  Custom Views display the data in a spreadsheet-like grid; simply double-click to open a record.  Exports can be saved in any of the standard Export formats (see above).

• Custom Fields on every form let you define fields to enter data that's specific to your business.  You can also create formulas behind the custom fields to populate themselves from other parts of the system.  (May not be included in Personal versions)

• Worksheets - View all data in a spreadsheet-type grid; use Find & Replace, Copy & Paste to edit multiple records or simply type in a new value and save it.  Sort by any column to easily find and fix inconsistent field values.

• User Preferences - Each user can select the application & page colors, set default values for each field and format data grids, etc. for a completely custom application look.  Users can also optimize performance based on their computer capacities or network speeds.

• Tools & Utilities - Many other tools, such as math & amortization calculators and a measurement converter... plus, plus, plus!

• Training Manuals - You can download the full set of training manuals for each product from our download site FREE (PDF format), then print all or part of it to suit your needs.  Or, simply order a complete training package that includes all of the manuals in full color, spiral bound to lay flat on your desk, reusable colored sticky tabs for marking pages and a highlighter for 'note-ables'.
