 Introducing PTWin32 |
PTWin32 contains a new feature that allows
users to send record-specific messages to other network users of PTWin32.
This means one user can convey a particular record requiring action to other
users by sending a message that points to the referenced record. On
the receiving end, the user(s) can read the contents of the message and jump to
the referenced record at the push of a button. The message text can be as long
as needed. Plus, you can have PTWin32 or other users send timed reminder
messages to you! The
timer can be set to send on a one-time, daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis.
You can save the messages you receive or delete them from your In-Box.
These User Messaging functions allow for a smoother permitting process by
assisting in the teamwork that many jurisdictions employ. You’ll
find User Messaging on the File menu of PTWin32’s Main Menu.
Selecting this command displays the User Messaging window. This window
looks like other PTWin32 windows with a toolbar of buttons and tabbed notebook
that shows you your In-Box, your Sent Messages, and your Scheduled
Messages. NOTE:
If you are a System Administrator you will see a fourth tab called System
Archiving. The
toolbar has the usual New, Delete, Print, Help, and Close
buttons as well as buttons for reading messages, sending & receiving,
jumping to a referenced record, and setting timer options to check for new mail.
User
Messaging also keeps a
separate archive of all messages sent through the system. Your system
administrator will, from time to time clean up the archive by deleting
unimportant messages that have accumulated over time. When
you create a message the New Message dialog appears. This dialog has a
check box labeled Archive Copy? If you check this field a copy of your
message is saved in the archive in a way that tells your system administrator to
save this as part of the historical record. If you don’t check the box your
message will most likely be deleted from PTWin32 the next time your system
administrator performs maintenance. The
New Message dialog also contains a combo box field called Referenced
Record, which allows you to select a record from PTWin32 to attach to the
message. Recipients press the Goto Referenced Record button to open that
module of PTWin32 and display the specified record.
