FAQ's

	Q Can we use Vouch and Visual Vouch concurrently?
	Yes. On one terminal you can run Vouch from the DOS box of Windows and at another terminal Visual Vouch. You can reap benefits of both protocols, viz., data entry speed of DOS and multithreaded reporting capabilities of Windows. In fact, we suggest to run Vouch on those terminals where data entry or printing is heavy and Visual Vouch on those terminals where viewing, quering and auditing is performed as you are allowed to open as many different sets of browsers in as many windows you like. There is a limitation on the number of multiple windows in Windows 95,98,ME but no limit in Windows XP or 2000.

	Q . What are the benefits of Visual Vouch over Vouch?
	Intelligent multi-threading. You can open as many windows of different sets of the same data for comparison purposes. Because all other windows only features can be accessed through Vouch also, for example, sendig emails, submitting data to MS Excel, Ms Word, invoking 3D-2D graphs, etc., multithreading and multi-windowing is the only big advantage of Visual Vouch. And off course, GUI environment.

	Q . Which type of printers are supported in Vouch?
	Practically any printer which has the capability to allow movement of printer head. Dot matrix and line printers can be used for high-speed generic printing, for example, Statement of Accounts, Inventory Listings, etc., and Inkjet or Laser Printers can be used for invoices or those documents which need colored output with pictures, barcodes, rectangles, circles, etc.

	Q . What is the meaning of on-line data encryption in Vouch?
	By on-line data encryption means each transaction is recorded in the database as encrypted values rather than the values that are entered into the forms. Each table has a number and in each table each field is numbered. Vouch knows what is to be placed in respective fields. What user sees in the form or browsers are the decrypted values of given record set where decryption takes place in the memory. Physical records in the database ever remain encrypted.

	Q . Is it true that encryption protocol differs with each license?
	Yes. Each license of Vouch changes the encryption protocol employed which is based on various factors asked as the time of installation. No two organizations can share the data between them. A lost backup is rendered useless to others.

	Q . Can we lock data in any manner?
	Yes. There are various methods through which data can be locked. At the top of the list is you can lock records upto a certain date as per user group. This is global right. Any user falling under that group cannot add, edit, or delete records prior to such date. This locking mechanism is only available for transaction modules only where date field is a must have field. Master type modules cannot be controlled through this feature. Next for each module you can define locking strategy. This is a flexible system but is applicable on all users. For example, if you wish that certain customers must not be invoiced during certain period, or, payment to certain vendors is not released until expression [xxx] is true, you can design a macro to this effect.

	Q . Can we design reports at our own?
	Yes. A state of the art Report Designer is available in Vouch. Which tables are to be included (you need not to remember the names, selection is available based on the main menu system of the application), columns and their types, widths, decemals, etc., how data from the attached tables will be included in the columns with a good control over filtration, which accounting periods need be included in the report, which organizations to be looked after, and more can be defined. Apart from normal browser based printing, document can also be designed to enhance printed output. Even external data sources in the form of .dbf can be mixed with proprietary databases of Vouch.

	Q . Can we design documents at our own?
	Yes. An excellent document designer is incorporated in Vouch. It used band-based technology. Header, brought forward, group1-7, detail, carry forward, summary, footer, all can be incorporated. Fields and user defined macros which return values can be inserted anywhere. Cut, copy and paste is supported. Each row in transactions can be configured to be printed conditionally. If desired, all the graphic elements can be placed on the document like bitmaps, lines, circles, rectangles, textboxes, circles, barcodes ( 3 of 9 and 128B ).Currently coloured printing is supported in Vouch (Console) only. Visual Vouch yet lacks this functionality. If user wants print preview with more features can also be provided ( a separate license is required for US$ 40.00 for each computer ).

	Q . Is Vouch capable of interacting with Internet?
	Yes. Data can be transferred over the internet. Prime implementation is the email. You can configure any number of email accounts which in turn can be attached with any browser. Because configuration of email accounts is expression based and is evaluated at the time of sending the mail, is too suitable to be attached with any browser of Vouch. For example, you can configure en email account so that it returns the values from General Ledger and can attached to 'Statement of Account' browser, then by clicking a button of the browser, the viewing 'Statement of Account' will be emailed to the address returned by email account. The format in which the browser is to be attached with the email message can also be predefined. The supported formats are: .dbf, .xls, .sdf, .del, .htm, .wk1. Apart from this absolute messages can also be relayed along with 8 attachments.
