The administration module is the foundation of HxGN EAM and is a prerequisite to the functionality of all other modules. Your system administrator utilizes the administration module to configure HxGN EAM to suit the specific needs of your company. The system administrator can define and maintain virtually all aspects of the system such as user access, system-wide defaults, and the content and format of functions and forms.

The user can call functions to complete the activities directly from the inbox. You can assign inbox entries to specific user groups or to all users, providing a customized listing for each user. The balanced scorecard displays key performance indicators (KPIs), user-defined parameters that measure productivity or efficiency, and scores on the home page. With the user-defined scorecard, users can view the status of their specific work environment using an easy-to-read graphical interface, which allows them to monitor performance. |

With the HxGN EAM multi-organization security (MOS) and multi-currency features, you can create multiple secured databases (organizations) while maintaining one physical database. Assign users to one or more organizations and then assign different roles, security levels, and approval limits for each organization. Users can view and influence "common" data (information accessible by all users regardless of organization) and the data of the organizations of which they are members. The HxGN EAM multiple currency feature, used only in conjunction with MOS, allows each organization to use a different base currency. |
