Working with Reckoner
Download Brochure (384KB)
Reckoner has been designed with the objective of empowering the user to perform
his or her tasks quickly and efficiently - the system therefore provides a
common interface for users across all functional areas. Every user, from the
operator level to the top management, needs the knowledge of a maximum of five
basic screens.
-
The first set of screens is the interface where the source information is keyed
into the system. This will typically be used up to middle-level management for
creating, modifying and authorizing documents.
-
The second set of screens, are the document browsers. These are document
libraries available across modules, which can be accessed for both viewing and
performing actions.
-
The third set of screens, are the entity browsers. These are information
managers available across modules, which are a useful tool for analysis.
-
The fourth set of screens, are reports, which have been designed for your
specific requirement.
-
The fifth screen is the mailbox. This is the working interface, which is
probably what the upper management will be using most of the time.
Document Entry
This is one of the document designs defined and created for your organization,
taking into account your working procedures. The document is first created when

defined in the workflow process.

Mail Box
The mailbox is the interface, which delivers your work to your desktop. This is
the working interface, which is probably what the upper management will be
using most of the time. The in-box contains all documents meant for you, as
defined in the workflow process. You can double-click the individual listings
to access the document for action.
The Mail System also handles communication within the Reckoner network. Every
user can "talk" through the system to his colleagues and pass messages or
notes. Documents, too, have a remarks field, and record the comments of the
user for the next person in the workflow path. You can delete the unwanted
mails from your mailbox. Select the Delete option from the mouse right click
options. For permanently deleting the mail items delete the mails from Deleted
Items. From here you can also print any of your mails, for this select the
Print option.
