Automation

Automatic import of data

Imports files placed in a folder
Extracts and imports data from emails
Scheduled 'pull' of data from external databases

Email alert system

Email alerts are an extension to the Auto Importer. They automatically and immediately notify mailing lists of events arising from imports such as invalid data files, compliance breaches, items requiring resolution or objects having been created by the importer.

Email alerts are designed to be selective. Examples:

Alert your laboratory if they send you an invalid file, but not when you have compliance alerts.
Staff managing dust data need not receive alerts for groundwater data
Email site managers alerts only for their particular site.

Monitoring Scheduler

Alerts when monitoring is due
Alerts when data is not received

The Monitoring Scheduler makes MP-5 not only aware of the data that has been received, but also aware of data that is due to be collected, and subsequently what data is missing.

It is able to pro-actively send reminders and warnings to users according to data status and settings.

Once schedules are created, they auto-generate visits. Visits require certain locations to be visited, and variables be measured.

When the data arrives into the database, it is marked against the visit, and percentage complete updated.

A traffic light style management interface gives a quick overview of monitoring that is outstanding or completed.

Task scheduler

Sends regular reports to mailing lists
Emails or places files in folders
Updates Intranet or web pages with HTML reports containing tables, graphs, charts, KPI's etc.

The Task Scheduler automatically creates output in the form of files and reports in many formats (pdf, doc, XL, HTML), and can either save to a location or email a distribution list.

It works by using stored selections, based on a schedule.

Example: If you have a selection that returns the last month's groundwater data for all of your perimeter boreholes, and set a scheduled task to run a report from this every Monday morning, you would receive a report of the last month's groundwater data every Monday.
