The following is a script from Oracle corporation.
This script explains the Lotus Screencam slide show used to demonstrate
Oracle's client-server application Oracle Financials. Keep in
mind that the slide show runs by itself once it is started. Thus,
the script below is needed to understand the window movement occurring
on the computer screen.
Flow Background:
As part of the close process, Global and its
auditors review selected journals and documentation
Flow Outline:
User demonstrates how the Navigator serves as desktop manager for the applications. User reviews "folder form" views of journal entry data. User customizes folders using Folder Tools toolbar. User drills from Results window to
Detail Transaction window to review a journal.
User views attachments, including a text note and an OLE2-linked
MS Word copy of a report. User reviews additional items available
in the document catalog
Key Messages:
The Navigator window allows you to manage your desktop from your applications session: you can call multiple forms, each of which remains active; you can call third-party applications; you can move between applications. Folder forms allow users to customize their view of applications data to suit the task at hand. From the extensive data stored for each journal, you can select search criteria that allow you to view only those rows associated with open journals, payable journals, journals for a period, etc.. Folder tool functionality allows you to customize the user interface for each column of your folder, save the definition, and optionally share it with other users. Unlike programming screen customizations, folder changes remain intact during migration to new releases.
The Find-Results-Transaction Summary flow is replicated throughout the applications. It forms a powerful workbench for quickly processing existing transactions or creating new transactions. Attachments technology allows you to associate text, images or OLE applications with specific transactions. They may be accessed by other users in the same form, or by users in different forms with associated data elements. For example, you can view attachments made in the Define Items form in the Items block of the Planner's Workbench.
Oracle's Applications link seamlessly to your desktop bringing the power of desktop software to your enterprise-wide data. Attachments technology allows users to catalog a library of relevant attachments, search this catalog for data relevant to a transaction, and immediately attach it to the current transaction.
Attachments may be stored either on the client PC, accessible only by users of that client; on the networked file system, accessible by users in the workgroup; or in the database, accessible by all users with the appropriate responsibility and function access.
