Description

• Personal calendar for each user. Up to 999 lines of notes or appointments may be entered for any given day. While the user is entering notes and appointments, Desk*Top displays a calendar for the month being worked with, highlighting the days that contain notes.

• Personal directory for each user. Users can maintain their own list of names, addresses, telephone numbers, and a short comment. Personal directory information may be printed to a listing or labels.

• On-line, 7 function calculator. An on-line "adding machine" type calculator has addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, average, percent, and square root functions, along with a memory register. A unique "rolling tape" feature allows the user to go back and review the functions performed.

• Installment loan analysis program. An installment loan analysis program provides quick, complete, and reliable information for any loan. Loan payment information can be retrieved by entering the loan amount, interest rate, and number of months in the loan. An option is also available to print the entire loan amortization schedule.

• Easy-to-use message sending facility. Users can easily send short informational and inquiry messages to other Desk*Top users. The user is presented with a list of Desk*Top users, from which they can select one or more users to receive the message.

• Appointment and note notification. Desk*Top can optionally notify users that appointments and notes exist for the current day, through use of a provided ready-to-run Application Programming Interface (API).

• Personalized menu. When a user signs on to Desk*Top, the displayed menu will only show options for the functions that have been authorized for that user by the Desk*Top administrator.

• Ease of operation. Desk*Top has been designed to be easy to learn and use by the display station user, with a minimum of training required.

• Multiple user support. Desk*Top may be used by any number of users concurrently.
