|
Security: Returnity ValChecks requires a name and password sign-on. The administrator grants either "Administrator" or "User" privileges to authorized personnel. Authorized individuals are specifically granted permission to "Add", "Edit", and "Delete" records. One must have "Administrator" privileges in order to access the administrator menus where preferences are set, personnel are authorized, and drop-box lists are maintained. Additionally, upon initial installation, the administrator has the opportunity to lock out a special key combination that would permit intrusion by an expert user into ValCheck's design features. | ||
|
|
Permissions: The administrator individually assigns permissions to add, edit, and delete records. Some personnel may have none of these permissions and hence, can only view records and reports. Others, may have permission for one or any combination of these actions. | ||
|
|
Traceability: Returnity SFT provides full tracking of all actions relation to the addition, edit, and deletions of case records. For each such action, the user's name is recorded, along with the date and the time. When a record is edited, the names of all edited fields are recorded as well. A list of envelope contents optionally recorded when a property record is initiated is permanently maintained along with the recorders name, the date, and the time. All changes to this list, including by whom and the date and time, are also recorded and permanently retained. The administrator has ready access to all traceability records relating to record additions, edits, and deletions. (Click Here) Deleted records are not lost; they appear to the user to be deleted, but are moved to a separate table accessible by the administrator. (Click Here) A complete contents list history is available to the administrator from this form. (Click Here) Only the administrator can actually delete a case record. Any ill-intended record manipulations or deletions are readily identified. | ||

Fully Customizable: "Relationship", "Disposition", "Staff" appear as drop box lists in ValChecks. Selections are made from these drop box lists as data are entered. These lists are readily customizable by the user to suit the user environment. (Click Here) Other feature options, such as auto-generation of envelope numbers, record archiving rules, and user passwords are as established by the administrator. (Click Here) | ||
