System Wide Features
System Granules
NewVision is a scalable
solution that consists of modules and granules within those
modules. This segmentation offers you the maximum
flexibility and allows you to purchase precisely the
functionality that you need to fit the requirements of your
business. As your business model changes and you develop
the need for additional functionality you simply purchase
the required granules.
Dimensions
Basic Dimensions
adds two additional dimensions to the general
ledger and to any of the other ledgers in
NewVision. You can assign dimension codes to
each transaction that involves a general ledger
account, customer, vendor, fixed asset, or
inventory item. In addition, you may define
default dimension values and rules for the
default values for all account types (G/L,
customer, vendor, item, etc). This feature lets
you easily add dimension to all transactions.
Examples for use of this functionality would be
to identify projects, profit centers, regions,
etc. |

Advanced Dimensions gives
you an unlimited number of dimensions to use in transactions
in all ledgers. In addition to an unlimited number of
dimensions, you get advanced dimension capability that
allows you to:
-
Set up rules for how to
combine dimensions and dimension values. This will
assist you in controlling the use of dimensions and make
output based on dimensions extremely reliable.
-
Set
up rules for prioritization of default values. This
gives you the possibility to define dimension rules to
fit your specific business processes.
-
Set up and use analysis
views. In analysis views you can analyze general ledger
transactions per dimension and combine dimensions as you
require.
Security
The security features are a
function of the NewVision database. User IDs and passwords
control access to each table, window, menu, and function of
NewVision. Users can be assigned to customized menus and
windows to provide each user with only the functions
necessary for his or her job. Security has two levels.
User IDs and passwords gives you control of access to the
solution, and gives all designated users full permission.
User Permissions and Control is an advanced and detailed
system for assigning and limiting user permissions. It
requires the configuration of user IDs and passwords.
Multiple Languages
Multiple
Languages enables the user to switch language on the client
in real time provided that the language is available in the
program.
Multiple Document Languages
allows you to set up alternative descriptions of your
inventory items and to print reports in multiple languages
(for example, you can create invoices in the receiver’s
language). The descriptions can be linked to individual
customers as well, which is especially useful for sales to
foreign countries. The alternative item descriptions are
automatically selected through the Sales Order and Purchase
Order options.
Reason Codes
This feature lets you define a set of reason codes which can
be assigned to individual transactions throughout the
system. This provides for an analysis tool to be able to
determine, for example, reasons for lost sales and quotes,
or reasons for returns.
Designer Granules
The three Designer Granules, Table, Form, and Report and
Dataport Designer, give you unparalleled flexibility to make
changes and modifications to the NewVision Software. The
changes made through these Designer granules are made at the
object level ensuring the ongoing integrity of your system.
With the capability of making many of your own changes you
can continue to “fit” the software to your changing business
needs and reduce the long-term cost of ownership.
Table Designer
The Table Designer allows you to change existing table
definitions or add new fields to existing tables and create
new tables to store data specific to your requirements.
Also, you can create new keys for sorting information in new
ways, and you can change or create new flow fields and flow
filters for “slicing and dicing” information in new ways.
|
Form Designer
With the Form Designer you can change existing
forms; remove data fields currently on the form,
add new data fields, or move them to another
location on the form. You can match the data
entry screens with input data forms or create
custom screens by user for field level security.

Report and Dataport Designer
This granule allows you to change existing Reports and
Dataports or create new ones. You can create new reports
through a “Reports Wizard” or copy an existing report to use
as a starting point. Every report in NewVision is created
using this tool, and therefore can be easily customized.
Dataports are used by the
system for importing and exporting data. You can, for
example, create a dataport to export data from the NewVision
system to an Excel spreadsheet or to any other file.
