Modifiable Edition

The modifiable version of The Accounting Library has been designed specifically for companies whose needs tend to be quite complex. Starting with the basic set of 3000+ questions in the Client/Server database, users can add entirely new modules, subsections, and questions, or add modify, or delete any of the present questions as the example below illustrates.

If a user wants to add a new module, all they have to do is position the cursor on the module below which they want to add a new module. By pressing the right mouse button, the screen on the preceding page will be displayed and the new module can be added.

Once the new module has been added (in the example above we have added a Human Resources module), the user would position the cursor on the new module and press the right mouse button again to add a new subsection.

Once all subsections have been added to the new module, the user can define new questions for each subsections as the example above illustrates. Subsections and questions can be added at any time to any module (new or existing).

The definition of each question is straight forward. In the same screen the user will define the questions and then add an appropriate Help File which will allow a vendor to understand exactly what the user requires.

Once the revised Needs Definition has been created and verified, the user would create a blank database for each new vendor to be added to the database. If a vendor (not product) is already in the database, this step would not be necessary. This blank database name would be copied to a diskette automatically.

The second step in this process is equally simple. For each vendor to whom this revised questionnaire is to be sent, the user would create a questionnaire file. This file would be copied to a diskette automatically. For new vendors, two files together with the Vendor Program would be sent. For existing vendors, only the one questionnaire file would be sent. Once the vendors answer their questionnaire, they would export the questionnaire file back to the user who would import it back into the program for analysis. As we discussed earlier, users could create a Vendor Group containing only those products in which they have an interest. This would reduce the actual analysis time, as well as present information for only those products in which the user has an interest.
