Project Continuation:

The goal of this document is to explain the direction our team’s application was headed, and where we were planning to extend our current application, and what our intentions were. This is in order to help any person or persons who picks this project up after us and decides to work with it some more, so that they can more easily understand what we were trying to do with the Application.

Our Goals:

• To mirror the functionality of HELP’s current DB in Alpha 5.
• This became a goal because of the inability of us to modify their DB due to passwords which were unknown at that time.

• To get the basic parts of HELP’s DB working in MS Access.
• Due to the late redefinition of our project, some bugs still exist with this part of the DB, namely the client Intake form and the Client Report. The intake form needs to have all the tabs tied together to the same client record (then removing all the ClientOID drop downs which are used as debuggers currently)

Future Ideas for the DB:

• Allow HELP to take a copy of the DB remotely via laptop, and synchronize the DB with the main one upon returning to HELP.

• Implement the Funding part of the DB
• We ran out of time to get this part working, but we intended for their to be a form for searching for a client based on vouchers they had that were unpaid, and then being able to pick from a dropdown list where the funding came from and saving the record.

• Implement the Voucher System.
• This involves creating a lot of forms for the DB, specific to the type of Service request that the client has made.

• Add more Reporting Options
• HELP needs more Report options, such as printing all clients from the past month who received their funding from the state, etc.
