a Dashboard that presents critical metrics.
Various modules are
accessible through the Outlook-style interface.
Each module in the
Dashboard presents a filterable/sortable list of items. Opening a list item
presents the user a detailed screen where information can be modified.

Recruiting Application Screenshots
The following screenshots
are taken from a Microsoft Access application developed by dobbs
enterprise solutions, inc. for a recruiting agency. The system tracks
information on companies, job orders and candidates, and matches qualified
candidates to jobs automatically based upon keyword matches, geographic
preferences and salary requirements.
The application uses a
Microsoft Outlook style menu system, with major modules accessible from the
left side of the screen, and a toolbar across the top to provide
functionality within the modules.
In the figure above, the
Company Information tab is selected in the Companies module.
The Staff tab in the
Companies module presents a summary of company information, and lists
candidates within the company.
When a candidate listed
at the bottom of the screen is double-clicked, the Candidates screen opens
to provide detailed information on that candidate, as shown in the next
screen shot.
Here, the Candidates
screen is opened as a pop-up form as a result of the candidate having been
selected from within the Companies screen.
Each screen of the
system uses a Tab control to logically present large amounts of information
to the system users. Information is further grouped logically within each
tab for an intuitive user experience.
The Candidates screen is
also accessible from the Main Menu by clicking the Candidates icon from the
left-side navigation menu.
Each module of the
system has a color-coded bar across the top of the screen below the toolbar,
allowing the user to know at a glance which module is currently open.
The Job Orders module
provides the ability to create Job Orders and matches qualified candidates
to the Job Order.
This module also tracks
the status of candidates sent out for interviews for the position.
The Agenda screen allows
recruiters to schedule activities and set reminders.
Double-clicking an
existing Agenda item or creating a new item opens a pop-up form that allows
the details of the item to be edited. The following screenshot shows the
Agenda item highlighted above.
Agenda items can be
created, with follow-up and reminder functionality provided.
The following reminder
form will pop up on the user’s screen when an Agenda item has had a reminder
scheduled.

Accounting Data Warehouse Application Screenshots
The following screenshots
are taken from a Microsoft Access application developed by dobbs

allocations manually. The system also provides a customizable querying and
reporting tool.
The application uses a
Web-style style hyperlink based menu system, with major modules accessible
from the left side of the screen. Hovering the mouse over a menu item
provides a detailed description of the module in the Description box.
