FASview/FASmail
Enables file attachments and emails to integrate within FS-Plus
FASview/FASmail is a productivity tool that extends the value of SM-Plus Enterprise in two ways: 1.) making it possible to view external files from within FS-Plus and 2.) making it possible to send emails containing merged data from FS-Plus fields from within the FS-Plus user interface.
An unlimited number of Windows-supported document files can be attached to any field, wild-carded field or combination of fields displayed on a SM-Plus screen. Supported file types include, but are not limited to, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CAD drawings, videos, html, etc.
FASview provides built-in flexibility to manually attach files or automate the process. The user can choose which approach-–or use a combination of the two--to meet the needs of the business environment and how the business documents are organized. Having both attachment options available allows the organization to maintain a standard file storage directory structure while at the same time providing the end-user flexibility to manually attach files as needed to support a specific job function.
The real power of FASview is in automating the file attachment process. Automated file attachment links are set up via user-definable naming conventions (i.e., “po-num”) and a predefined directory structure. Files may be stored anywhere on the network or on any server accessible to the network. This approach creates automatic links between the attachment files and the predefined FS-Plus field name(s) thus eliminating the need to manually attach each document to each SM-Plus screen. For example, if a CAD drawing is linked to “item”, the CAD drawing can be displayed from any screen where “item” is displayed (i.e., customer order line item maintenance, job maintenance, job materials, purchase order item) allowing the linkage to go throughout the entire FS-Plus system.
Benefits
View ALL documents and related information for a particular FS-Plus field from WITHIN FS-Plus.
Quickly compose an e-mail containing data from any FS-Plus screen without cutting and pasting.
Link virtually unlimited file types (Microsoft application files, CAD drawings, etc.) to SyteLine for quick and easy reference and troubleshooting.
Configure FS-Plus fields to “automatically” link files so they follow that field value wherever it is used throughout the entire system, or link a file as an attachment to an e-mail.
