CV2VB Results:
New User Interface


Your users see a new interface, yet familiar functionality, organization, and work flow.  


There's no long shakedown cruise.  Users enjoy an orderly startup with your legacy and converted applications co-existing using the same data sources.

Access set by user's VMS login.



Auto-selection of database,
Username defaults
from Windows

Form Resizing

Dependant on terminal emulator, all screens are the same size/color/font for the whole application.


Vertical & Horizontal Resizing - unique sizes for each
 form and window.

(User settings follow them to any PC they use)


Date Entry


Relaxed year entry, format choice.

or drop down Date-Picker Calendar.

Batch & Reports

CorVision applications depended on VMS batch processing and printing services.

Parameters were passed via 'terminal datasets'.

CV2VB provides a batch queuing system and report archive and distribution system.

Parameters are passed
 via XML messages.


HELP!



Form Level or Field Level
 HELP is available.



HELP is generated from application specifications, adding developer and documenter annotations


HELP has clickable links to follow and is organized by the application's menu.


Field-level HELP shows all business rules for the field on the specific form.

NOTE: HELP generation is part of  the CV2VB toolset.

 


"Accept, Reject or Edit?"



Accept or Reject selected by function key or window choice. Navigation choices controlled by data.



Accept or Reject selected by  function key, button


Navigation choices
controlled by data.

 


Visual queues for Non-enterable fields



User's couldn't tell if a field was enterable or not - until they tried to get to it.



Non-enterable fields are dynamically grayed.


Screen Printing


CorVision didn't provide screen printing. 

User's could print the screen image, but not all of the scrolling regions.



Click for a quick Screen Print


Print the visible screen,
 all rows from scrolling region(s), or both.


QUERY



CorVision's End-user QUERY was easy to use and popular at many sites.

Users' Query specs were stored in an undecipherable format.


A QUERY Form is part of the CV2VB-converted application, and all your queries from QUERY.DAT are converted and available.


Function Keys

CorVision allowed you to define custom function keys by customizing the MACRO-32 source for VT200AF.MAR

These keys had no visual equivalent.


Function keys are easy to add to the application and display in a toolbar.

NOTE: CV2VB converted applications can still be driven solely from the keyboard!  We understand: CorVision applications are back-office, high-volume, and keyboard intensive.
