 Introducing PTWin32 |
So
there you are, minding your own business, entering a permit record into PTWin32,
but when you try to assign a contractor to your permit you are prohibited and
you receive a message saying the contractor’s license has expired. Does this
mean you have to start keeping track of expiration dates even though you may not
use PTWin32 to track licenses? In a word, no. We
here at Black Bear Systems routinely work with hundreds of governments all over
North America. This gives us a unique ability to compare the methods and
practices of our clients to develop software that can be useful to everyone.
This is why PTWin32 is so responsive to your needs. One
thing we have learned is that everyone does the same thing…slightly
differently. In response we have designed PTWin32 to allow users to configure a
wide range of settings that personalize each installation of PTWin32. There
are Record Blocks that prevent the assignment of a contractor to a
permit, the scheduling of an inspection, or the creation of an inspection
record. The
Printing Blocks can prohibit the printing of a permit, a temporary
certificate of occupancy, or a permanent certificate of occupancy. The
blocks work on expiration dates, Status field values, unpaid fees, or the
existence of a final inspection record. The
Record and Printing Blocks represent one of the many optional ways
you have to customize your PTWin32 installation but they can frustrate everyday
users if set in a way that is inconsistent with your particular methods. When
you install PTWin32 certain blocks are active to ensure data integrity for new
users. If one of these blocks interferes with the way you do business then
simply turn it off.
