Description from the packaging.

A complete general information Storage and Retrieval System with exclusive X-SEARCH, X-SORT and X-CHART features.

At a Glance:

This System includes:

  • A Menu-driven program that lets you store information on a wide variety of subjects- anything from general name and address lists to research data. This program also calculates and stores corresponding numerical data.
  • A program which can be used by itself (stand-alone), or interfaced with Timeworks Word Writer, enabling you to maintain and print out name and address lists, create individualized form letters, and produce customized reports up to 20 columns wide.
  • Full Prompting- You will be guided through this program by thoughtful and easily-understood instructions (prompts) from your computer display screen.
  • Password Protection, to prevent unauthorized access to your confidential data.
  • A special Backup feature, which quickly generates extra backup copies of your recorded information to guard against the loss of important data.
  • A Manual written in easy-to-understand, people-friendly English, abundantly illustrated to make it even clearer and eliminate any guesswork.

Features:

A. Using this program alone:

  • Quick access to important information. Items can be easily retrieved and printed by category, name, index code, date range, amount range, or any category of information stored in the system.
  • Timeworks exclusive X-SEARCH feature. Allows you to easily cross-serach any of the above categories as many times as you need, to locate the specific group of items you desire.
  • Timeworks exclusive X-SORT feature. An advanced indexed Sort system which allows you to arrange your stored items, in increasing or decreasing order, alphabetically, numerically, or chronologically (by date).
  • Timeworks exclusive X-CHART feature. Enables you to break down statistical information by up to ten indexed categories of your choice, and graphically view your results.
  • Statistical analysis of numbers. The Data Manager 2 produces the Sum, Average and Standard Deviation of statistical data entered into the system, and will also produce Frequency Charts (Bell Graphs) using that data.
  • Arithmetic calculation of your stored numerical data. Allows you to perform tasks such as payroll calculations, price revisions, cost estimates, and more.
  • Quick and easy deletion of obsolete information. To maximize storage efficiency.
  • Audio cueing (beeping). Alerts you to all important prompts.

This Program:

  • Enables you to maintain and print out all types of name and address lists, create individualized form letters, and produce customized reports.
