Revolution Online Features Update

December 2007

Hey Multi-Taskers!

Did you know that your browser has something kinda cool built in?  It's a feature called "Tabbed Browsing" and it works really nicely with Revolution On-Line. 

You know those cute and oh so functional ROI Tabs at the top of your screen...the ones that look like this....

If you right mouse click (if you are using IE7) or simply drag them (if you are using Firefox), you can use the tabbed browser features.  This allows you the ability to toggle between screens without loosing your place.  Imagine all the work you can get done.

Business Rulz RULE!

Ever wonder what drives your system logic....those "things" that make "things" happen magically behind the scenes?  Well, they are your own business rules.  You sent them to ROI as programming requests, we implemented them and now they just happen.  But what happens if you ever want to refer to them again?  We decided to give you a placeholder to store these rules directly online within the Revolution application.

In your Client-specific reference tab, you will find such a placeholder.  These have been set up by your system administrator (and ROI Technical Account Manager) and display your organization's specific business rules.

These allow you to keep specific notations about business rules as well as attach original documents and specifications for any business rules.  Also of note: these business rules don't have to be specific to ROI-related programming.  I am seeing many clients use this feature to store all "data related" business rules within the ROI Revolution database.  Nice Job!

It's the Open Batches...

There are two new thoughtful widgets available in a dashboard near you....just in time for the holidays!  The intent is to give you a guick glance on the status of your batches (open and unlocked, that is...). 

You get to them in the Tools Tab under "Welcome."  Select "Options" and look under the "Counts" section. 

Keep in mind, you can also get a listing of any open, unlocked batches through the Tools Tab by filtering on "Only Open Batches" and clicking the "Subscribe to this List" icon.  We want you to be in the "know."

Did You Know?

Ever question the little question mark in the upper right hand corner next to the logout?  The one that looks like this....

Well, question no more....because when a Question Comes Along, You Must Click it.  Click it Good. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the Devo here).

This little sassy icon will get you to a full fledged online User Help Menu - and it's around 300+ pages so we give it to you online (save a tree, please).  The User's Manual is updated long before we roll out new features so rest assured, it's up to date and good reading!
