Falcon32 has the power, dependability, and ease you've come to expect from FALCON data entry

Customer interaction and the advice of industry experts has helped make FALCON an intuitive and user-friendly data entry solution. If you've used FALCON, you'll quickly catch on to Falcon32. If you've had experience with Windows, you'll already be familiar with the way many Falcon32 features work.  All Falcon32 operation modes are accessed from the same application window, eliminating the need to open and close windows and to learn to navigate outside of Falcon32. The optional Falcon32 imaging add-on adds sophisticated and highly accurate imaging and data capture functions to the data entry system. (See the white paper for what you need to know about OCR.)

Data entry software that's accurate and easy to use

No programming necessary!

• Access advanced data processing functions without the need to create independent programs.
   
• Build input screens to create record layouts with the simple field-oriented attributes and editing features in minutes. Balancing, auto-duplication, field requirement, and ordered multiple-level input are a snap. With Falcon32, you can be entering data and verifying a full application in less than an hour.
   
• Use extended editing to perform all types of data calculation, register balancing, table updates, field duplication, conditional command execution, data validation, and more.

Customizable

• Create and design data input screens.
   
• Use a data entry keyboard layout or a regular keyboard layout, or remap an embedded numeric keyboard that can be automatically available when keying numeric fields.
   
• Customize which keys to use as action keys (field release, screen release, duplication, etc.) in a way that best meets the expectations of your seasoned data entry staff! Key layouts can be standard or modified according to operator preference.
   
• Operators can control the font size and display color (or absence of color) at their workstations.
   
• Add customized help to assist in training new personnel.

Access to functions via dynamic drop-down menus

Menu options vary with the current display window and field, and are configurable based on security settings. This eliminates frustrating, "You cannot do that, OK?" errors. Data entry professionals can navigate menus with a keystroke or command equivalent. Of course, menu selections can be made with a click of the mouse.

Context-sensitive help

Falcon32 provides online help for every dialog box, menu item, report type, and keying mode. Press F1 for help on what you are doing, or choose the table of contents, index, or word search. Links let you jump quickly to related topics, and step-by-step instructions guide you through most tasks. And if you need custom training for your staff, you can create custom help, which is context-sensitive to the application, the current format, or the field containing the cursor.

Falcon32 utilities

Easy access to command-line utilities and utility modes in the program has been a long-time feature of FALCON. Each Falcon32 utility is fully documented in online help, which can be called up from the Falcon32 application window. Your favorite PC/Falcon command-line utilities are also fully documented in the online help. Falcon32 utilities include:

• File uploads/downloads
• TCP/IP support
• Data extracts
• Automatic batch creation
• Batch status reports
• Data imports
• Job accounting

Falcon32 security and job accounting

Falcon32 provides substantial protection for your valuable data. Supervisors control user or group access to files through comprehensive profiles. The online experience for data entry-only operators can be customized to display batch entry and verify only, with a subset of task-oriented menus. Supervisors can grant access to other personnel on an as-needed functional level for tasks such as data extraction, deletion, upload and application design. Password protection is available on the operator and member-naming-convention level. Job accounting captures keying statistics and tracks important operator events like file copying and deleting. Job accounting and security settings are global in a LAN configuration; thus, job accounting can be dumped and security can be configured remotely.

Falcon32 gives you complete data recovery

After a workstation hardware failure, the operator can continue keying the same batch at another LAN workstation from the last committed screen with the same level of security and continued job accounting statistics capture. Similarly, after a power outage, operators can continue keying their batches at their workstations from the last committed screen.

Falcon32 is cost effective

You can save on operation and maintenance costs by switching to Falcon32 from a dedicated hardware system. Faster, safer, and more efficient processing saves you time and money no matter what system you used in the past.

Converting from your old data entry system

The Phoenix staff have decades of combined experience converting from dedicated and poorly supported systems. Their guidance will assure a pain-free conversion to the leading industry technology of a fully supported and cyclically updated system.

Falcon32 uses tried-and-true FALCON methodology

The best thing about Falcon32 is its seasoned technology. Attention to the needs of its users made FALCON their number one data entry product! No similar product can compare to FALCON usability and security. Since 1981, Phoenix Software has been an innovator in the data entry industry and brings that expertise to the Windows environment with Falcon32. Now you can get the best and most reliable data entry software available, enhanced by the added capabilities of Windows.
