• Graphing - Tabular report data can be instantly displayed as a bar, column, or line graph, or as a pie chart.

• Organizational security - Customers can define how participant data is shared among programs internally, and among partners and service providers externally.
• Electronic Data Record Signatures - Each data entry is electronically stamped with the name of the person who last updated it, and the date the update occurred.

User Friendliness

These features not only make the system easy to use, but also reduce training time and expense:

• Data list displays - CaseManager features spreadsheet-like lists that provide users with "at-a-glance" summaries of participant data.
• Visual cues - CaseManager utilizes color-coding to indicate which data fields are required, which are optional, and which are system-generated.
• Edit checks - Where appropriate, CaseManager prompts users with informational dialogues and confirmations to ensure accurate data entry.
• Data entry wizards - Where appropriate, CaseManager guides users through data entry processes with easy to follow, step-by-step prompts and dialogues.
