Core Features
Shared & Distributed Network Databases The Workgroup
version of Commence allows users to share information with
other Commence users and gain the full benefits of network-based
information sharing. Commence automatically synchronizes
any additions or updates to the database with other authorized
users on the network. When one user/client makes a change,
all other users will see the change on their systems as
well. Users can disconnect from the network and still have
their own local copy of the shared database to take with
them. When they return and reconnect to the network, all
their changes will be synchronized with the other users,
and vice-versa. Anyone who needs business information, both
in the office and on the road, gets the best of both worlds
with Commence.
Flexible Database Architecture Commence includes a flexible
database offering robust capabilities to meet the needs
of growing businesses. The database includes many field
types including text, number, email addresses, web addresses,
telephone, image, and document fields.
Commence’s unique 'connection' field type is used
to quickly make relationships between tables, for example
relating contacts and the companies they work for. Connection
fields allow related data to be quickly accessed and instant
access to attached records.
Calendar & Scheduling Individual users can keep total
control of their schedules and calendar events through powerful
calendar capabilities. Users graphically view their calendar
by the day, week, month or year, which includes text and
color-coded busy bars. Users can drag and drop items to
schedule or reschedule appointments as well as enhance their
productivity, using features such as sounding an alarm prior
to an appointment. Conflicts can also be identified which
inform the user of multiple appointments booked at the same
time.
Viewing & Reporting Data can be viewed and printed
in a variety of ways. Users can display selected data and
fields in report form, in familiar address book format,
graphically as a Gantt Chart, and in day/week/month/year
calendar form. Printing in various day planner and organizer
formats is supported, as well as envelopes, labels, Rolodex,
index cards, and much more.
Multi-View The multi-view feature provides a clean efficient
way to view your data. Similar to the dashboard of your
automobile, this feature allows the end-user to combine
multiple windows of information into a single frame.
