Animals Into the Database
This is the primary console
for entering animals into the database. They can be entered one at
a time, using the information editor displayed in the screen shot, or
the multi-item editor displayed below.
Note that the information
editor reflects the layout and data fields selected for use in the User
Interface Themes Workshop ... available in aim Records and aim
Architect.

On the right side of the form,
linked images and documents for each animal can be displayed within the

Group (
multiple ) Inserts Into the Database
When you want / need to enter
more than one animal at a time, the multi-item editor makes it easy to
enter the group.
You can enter each row of
data, or use batch techniques to fill in the blanks and save keystrokes.
Additionally, if you are
entering animals that have sequential identification numbers, such as
Ear Tags, the incremental editor can be used to automatically construct
the list of identification numbers. |

Common Data Entry Forms ... |
|
|
|
aim provides each user
with a consistent and intuitive user interface. Some data
entry forms are specialized, such as Ledger, Performance Measurement,
Calendar and Scheduling and Competitions ... however, even these forms
present a common data entry layout and interaction, which
significantly reduces the learning curve and increases data entry
efficiency. |

Consistent
and Intuitive User Interface
In this example ( General Care and Maintenance Form
) the layout demonstrates the common features of all data entry
forms.
-
The toolbar provides
one-click access to common actions.
-
The selected animal
inventory item is located in the top-left corner of the form.
-
The information editor is
located directly below the selected animal inventory item.
-
The record list displays all
records entered for the selected animal inventory item.
The layout and content of the
information editor is based on the current Theme.
The layout and content of the
record list can be tailored using the toolbar buttons, or in the User
Interface Themes Workshop.

Easy to understand ... Easy to
use ... but don't let the simplicity fool you ... aim's data
