A list of the most frequently asked questions about the Visual e TM Suite of products is maintained in a Question (Q) and Answer (A) format within this document.
Q: What is the Visual e Search Browser?
A: The Visual e Search Browser is a stand-alone or add-on tool for the Visual e Windows development system. Direct access to company application data is made available without the need for a data-mining system.
Application data stored in popular multivalue databases—including Advanced Pick, D3, jBASE, mvBASE, mvENTERPRISE, Unidata, and Universe—are available on a real-time basis to view any aspect of the database. For example, sales, general ledger, purchasing, and invoicing data and transactions can be viewed in a window form or report format, or accessed through other Window applications such as Excel.
Q: Must I learn a separate query language?
A: The Visual e Search Browser eliminates the need to know and understand a proprietary query language. Modeled after the Internet search methodology, queries are made simple that any Windows savvy person can understand.
Q: Can the query data be exported to Excel or saved as a text file?
A: Once the selected data is identified, a detailed export of the data can be performed. Previous export definitions can be used to export the data, or new export definitions can be made at anytime. Data may be saved as a text file.
Q: Must a separate server be maintained for the data-mining process?
A: No, the Visual e Search Browser uses the existing multivalued database.
