CATSWeb® Options

Form Manager
CATSWeb Form Manager automates the transfer of forms, lists, rules, and other CATSWeb objects between different databases or systems. It does this by automating the creation of AssurX script files. The script files may then be uploaded to any other CATSWeb system. The CATSWeb Form Manager is the ideal tool for transferring form designs from development to production and reusing CATSWeb processes throughout the enterprise.

DocuServ
CATSWeb DocuServ is a server-based utility that generates Microsoft® Word documents from CATSWeb records via a "mail-merge" process. User-defined templates (Microsoft Word files) define the basic document, such as a form letter. At runtime, CATSWeb DocuServ replaces special "tags" in the template with actual data from the current CATSWeb record. The document is then available to the user for printing, e-mailing, editing, etc. DocuServ can be used to automatically fill out form letters used to communicate with customers or vendors. For companies that require 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trails, DocuServ documents can also be automatically time-stamped and saved as a file attachment.

Records Management
CATSWeb Records Management allows easy and effective compliance with corporate record retention policies by automating the process of archiving or purging records and documents that meet configurable criteria. It includes effective security controls, ensuring that policy-based record archiving and purging is performed in a safe, controlled manner. For example, two different individuals can be required to independently review and approve record management jobs before processing is allowed to occur. Configurable transaction logging is built-in, easing process audits and system validation. Click here to read more about Records Management.

Multiple Database Option
CATSWeb Multiple Database Option enables an unlimited number of CATSWeb databases to be created and accessed from a single Web server or server cluster. This option is ideal for global or enterprise-wide systems that require complete isolation between business processes. The ability to share servers while maintaining database independence improves load-balancing efficiency, maximizes hardware utilization, and minimizes cost.

API License
The comprehensive CATSWeb API is an interface for developers who wish to create routines that interact directly with the CATSWeb system. The powerful API allows CATSWeb to communicate with and integrate into other systems. Use the API to develop routines that populate CATSWeb forms with data from external databases, validate users inputs, send custom e-mails triggered by events, and much more. The CATSWeb API provides an object-oriented, ActiveX interface to CATSWeb functionality.

Data Import Utility
The Data Import Utility allows you to import legacy data, quality records, lists and users into CATSWeb making it easy to map fields between CATSWeb and a delimited text import file. Results of import jobs are recorded into an import log file providing feedback about import errors, start and complete times. Notification settings provide for automated email notification when import jobs are completed and include a file attachment of the import job log file. Full CATSWeb Security comes built-in for configuring access rights by employee, department, group or role. The Data Import Utility comes with a detailed setup guide, validation scripts and context sensitive help files.

Installation Qualification (IQ) & Operational Qualification (OQ) Templates
One of the first steps in software validation is performing Installation and Operational Qualifications (IQ/OQ). AssurX has developed a template IQ/OQ validation document. Each validation guides you through a step-by-step procedure including the description of test and expected results. With each CATSWeb version upgrade, AssurX develops a revised IQ/OQ validation document, which can be purchased at a reduced rate. Support and upgrades for the IQ/OQ validation document can also be purchased.

Database Schema Documentation
The CATSWeb Database Schema Documentation includes entity relationship diagrams and field definitions covering the CATSWeb database tables. It also includes a set of stored procedures (SQL queries), which may be executed to generate a catalog of customer-defined fields used in each form (captions, table field names and descriptions).

Data Ports
The CATSWeb Data Ports option provides a secure, reliable mechanism for retrieving data from external databases accessed across the Internet or intranet. It provides the capability to retrieve external data with two-way, 128-bit strong encryption without the need for SSL. Data Ports are simple to use and eliminate the need for special database linking operations so no DB administrator involvement is required. The need for a separate integration server is also eliminated. Data is retrieved directly from an external database and populated directly into CATSWeb forms for editing and submission. Data Ports are lean, fast, and reliable.

Web Services
CATSWeb Web Services adds a powerful and strategic new dimension to the CATSWeb Enterprise Quality Tracking system. The client-side platform independence of CATSWeb's true zero client architecture has now been extended to server-side customization and system integration. With optimized interfaces for both Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and Microsoft .NET, CATSWeb Web Services ensures that the choice of technology platforms is firmly in the hands of our customers.
