SansWrite is a full-featured scalable enterprise solution used to capture, maintain and distribute inspection data. The SansWrite solution is comprised of three modules including the Client, Middleware and Web Portal. The SansWrite Client is used to collect inspection data in the field. The SansWrite Middleware allows the Client to communicate with a centralized information system or back-end database. The Web Portal provides private and/or public access to inspection data via the Internet.

Client

Screen Development
Using traditional or specialized data entry controls, you can create sophisticated screens to meet your exact specifications. The user-friendly drag-and-drop development environment enables you to add controls and configure their properties. To optimize screen development, groups of controls can be stored as an object and then reused on multiple forms or templates.

Printout Development
Using a robust printout development environment, you can create and modify printouts as necessary. No printout is too complex; easily add graphics, insert text and create formula fields without programming experience.

New Inspection
When starting a new inspection, licensee data imported from a centralized database is used to setup the inspection. In addition, previous inspection and infraction data can be imported and automatically populated.

Primary Interface
SansWrite’s primary interface allows for easy navigation of automated inspection checklists. As you conduct an inspection it’s easy to skip from page to page documenting conditions and violations as you see them. Unlike traditional paper forms, SansWrite monitors your progress and gives indications when pages and sections of the report are complete.

Verify Report
Designed for use in the field, SansWrite monitors your progress and verifies that the report is complete before printing or exporting data. With SansWrite, you’ll feel confident that your reports are 100% accurate.

Standardized Text
Standardized text dramatically improves the accuracy and efficiency of documenting deficiencies and violations by providing lists of pre-written descriptions of common conditions or non-compliances. Once you’ve selected a standard, it’s easy to insert additional text or modify sentences to more precisely describe a specific situation.

Text Builder
SansWrite’s Text Builder allows you to quickly and easily insert specific details into standardized text without typing. Unique to SansWrite, the Text Builder offers a level of documentation efficiency that is unparalleled.

Quick Text
Another form of standardized text is Quick Text and it enables you to save and re-use your own personalized standard text while completing an inspection. Also unique to SansWrite, Quick Text is easily accessed from any edit box control throughout the software.

Spell Check
Using SansWrite’s spell check utility it’s easy to check for misspelled words throughout the entire report before printing. If a word is not present in the standard dictionary, you can easily add it to a personalized dictionary.

E-mail Reports
Deliver paperless inspection reports using SansWrite’s built-in e-mail capability. No need for e-mail software, you can send reports in a PDF format from SansWrite.

Digital Pictures
Using SansWrite, you can insert a digital picture into your inspection reports. With built-in support for most popular file formats including .JPG, .BMP, .TIF and .GIF it’s easy to import a picture from your hard drive or twain compliant device (scanner or digital camera).

Electronic Signatures
SansWrite includes built-in support for electronic signatures. Using a stylus on your laptop or Tablet PC, you can quickly and easily capture electronic signatures. To provide a high level of protection, each signature is encrypted and maintained in a secure format.

Windows XP for Tablet PC
SansWrite includes built-in support for the Windows XP for Tablet PC operating system. Handwriting recognition, voice navigation, and voice dictation are just a few of the advanced features available when using SansWrite on a Tablet PC. With SansWrite, it’s easy to configure your templates for portrait or landscape orientations. Using the Windows Journal, you can quickly take notes while walking through a facility and then import those notes as text into SansWrite when preparing a final report. Most importantly, your notes are stored within the SansWrite report, providing you an organized way to store and maintain case information.

Middleware

Service Manager
The Middleware Service Manager provides a user-friendly interface for configuring and managing the Middleware server. Using this interface, a System Administrator can configure SansWrite to communicate with an existing client/server database, define data repository locations and fine-tune SansWrite for optimum performance.

Database Connection Setup
Using the SansWrite Middleware Service Manager, a System Administrator can configure the SansWrite Client and Web Portal to communicate with an existing ODBC compliant data source. Once configured, a secure connection between SansWrite and an existing database is available for importing and exporting data.

Database Maintenance Scripts
SansWrite includes sophisticated functionality for defining and maintaining an inspection data repository. Using inspection template configurations, SansWrite generates database scripts that can be automatically or manually run to setup or maintain a back-end database.

Update Manager
Using the SansWrite Update Manager, a System Administrator can manage and deploy updates to the SansWrite Client. No need to manually install updates on portable computers; SansWrite can automatically manage and install updates each time the Client is connected to the Middleware.

Web Portal

Add/Update Licensee
Using the SansWrite Private Web Portal, you can add, manage and update licensee data. In addition to the SansWrite "System Fields" (illustrated in this example), "User-defined Fields" can also be configured to maintain licensee data specific to your agency. Once added or updated, licensee data can be synchronized with the SansWrite Client.

View/Manage Inspections
The SansWrite Private Web Portal enables licensing agencies to view and manage inspection reports that were completed and archived using the SansWrite Client. Once archived, inspection reports can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader, made available to the Public Portal or maintained for Private Portal only viewing.

Ad Hoc Reporting
With SansWrite's built-in Ad Hoc Reporting capabilities, every field in the database is accessible for statistical and management reporting. Using a sophisticated Ad Hoc Reporting interface, reports can be generated on-demand or memorized for future use. Most importantly, data can be exported to either Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Excel formats.

Site Administration
SansWrite has built-in web site administration capabilities that allow a System Administrator to configure and manage the Web Portal.

Customizable Interfaces
SansWrite's Web Portal interfaces can be customized using site templates and cascading style sheets to reflect your agencies existing web site.

Public Portal
The SansWrite Public Portal allows for public access to licensee and inspection report data via the Internet. Most importantly, the Public Web Portal can also be customized to provide seamless compatibility with your agencies existing web site.

GIS/GPS Mapping
SansWrite supports ESRI GIS Database and GIS Web Services for rendering maps with licensee information contained within. An ESRI GIS Database or Web Services subscription is required and is not included with a SansWrite Software License.
