Electronic form applications vary widely regarding the organization of their supporting database. It is important to do your research on their data retrieval tools and their ease of use before you buy. To this point, an article in the November, December 2008 INFONOMICS magazine titled, Enterprise Content Management Forecast 2009, stated:

“In a recent AIIM survey, 40% of respondents said that finding the information they need to do their job is ‘difficult and time-consuming’. The same study asked users how many hours per week they typically spend looking for information. Among AIIM members, 28% reported spending two to four hours per week; 27% reported spending four to six hours per week; and 24 % reported spending eight or more hours-i.e. one full business day-per week, just looking for information. “

With eForm-Connect, the ability to quickly find needed information is easier than ever. eForm-Connect users avoid the hassle of navigating through the database in search of what they are looking for. Instead, a helpful organizational tool bar has been added to the application. Once logged in to the application, the user sees a list of recently completed forms as well as forms still in need of completion on the left hand side of their screen. With a quick drag and click, previously completed forms can be re-opened or new forms may be selected and opened.

Another excellent forms management tool included with every eForm-Connect package is called the Account Management Tool. This component of their Desktop Application Console allows the Forms Administrator to have full control over the forms. A few examples of forms management features available with the Account Management Tool include its ability to: Determine what forms the users have access to; Run reports on specified data; Map users to specific supervisors; Pull specific users or forms using a search engine tool; and much more.

With eForm-Connect, finding needed information about forms in progress is no longer a problem. Don’t waste time searching for data. Make your forms management job easier and save time with eForm-Connect!
