This software was designed to be user friendly and provide 
easy access to vast amounts of data. The windows and user options 
usually provide a clear indication of the next step. Most options 
are clearly listed at the top or near the   bottom of the windows. 
Because of the easy to use options  little training is needed. In 
fact most people can access the data and the information needed in 
just a few minutes. These options were provided so even a
non-computer literate person could use the system.

 

This manual will provide clear step-by-step instructions for
