Overview

The Integral Accounting Enterprise interface makes use of "Smart Panels" in the system to deliver small amounts of useful data to the user in an easy to understand and quickly customizable format.

The main screen of the application utilizes a collection of these "Smart Panels"

Smart Panels are implemented in the system as ASPX Controls, and their code resembles the same code that you would find in the reports aspx templates.

The system is shipped with 6 different smart panels that display various important system data that a user may need to look at frequently. However, there are many uses for smart panels within the system such as:

1) As stated above, to display small amounts of useful data to the user

2) To display the status of a function in the system

3) To act as a "wrapper" to deliver other web based information to the user. For example:

A) You can wrap a RSS feed that displays scrolling headlines in a smart panel and display that for the users

B) You can wrap a web applet from an outside site like a stock ticker or a weather applet in a smart panel and include it into the interface.

C) You can use it to display messages to users in real-time

The smart panels are very flexible and adaptable and your use of them is only limited by your creativity.
