Help

HxGN EAM provides online help throughout the system. User manuals are also available in Adobe Acrobat® Portable Document Format (.PDF), directly from the HxGN EAM Help menu, or from the installation CD.

Workload Inbox and Balanced Scorecard

The workload inbox displays a user-specific list of pending actions or activities, such as requisitions awaiting approval. 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.

Multi-organization Security/ Multi-currency

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.

Export HxGN EAM Records

Export records to a tab-delimited file to extract information from the HxGN EAM database without making an external connection, e.g., from outside HxGN EAM to the database. The tab-delimited file can be viewed using Microsoft Excel or any program that opens .TXT files.

HxGN EAM Messenger

HxGN EAM Messenger is a unique feature that notifies you of changes in the HxGN EAM database. Set up HxGN EAM Messenger to send e-mail messages to specified e-mail recipients whenever a record is inserted, updated, or deleted from the database.
