Security Tools:
Reach-Out offers a wide variety of security functions.
Security serves to preserve existing data, prevent damage to data and prevent
or limit access to
certain data. Security Tools include:
A. User Access Control:
Reach-Out uses two levels of user access as its primary
security base. Each user is determined as User or Administrator. Users may be designated into Groups with security
settings. Each Group can include as many users as needed. Every new user added
to a group will be defined
by the security settings of the group to which they belong. In addition to
security access, group settings also influence hidden fields, read-only fields, menu button security, user
restrictions and more.
B. Menu Button Security:
For each user, or user group, it can be
determined to which buttons or program functions they will have access. By
hiding buttons and icons, the use of the software is simplified and tailored to
fit each user and security level.
C .Hidden or Read Only Fields:
For each user and group, fields may be hidden or
read-only. In the latter option, users can view data but cannot change it. In
the first option, users
will not see the fields that have been designated as hidden.
D. Restriction Cards:
For all cards in Reach-Out, access may be
restricted or partially restricted for specific users or user groups. For example, multiple branches of an organization may work on a single
database; using restriction cards we can prevent or limit access of each
branch to data of other branches. All employees of the branches will work on a
single centralized database, yet the employees of each specific branch will
view only the customers
and data pertinent to their branch. Executives with higher level access will
be able to view all of the data.
Reach-Out has been designed to allow the greatest ease
of implementation, change and integration into everyday workflow
processes. In addition to the previously mentioned tools,
Reach-Out provides advanced tools for analysis of the processes managed within
Reach-Out. The following
