Return To Top Big Little Things That Add Up To describe the features listed above in any detail, would take more words than most would want to read. Then there are elements not even mentioned. Here are a few tools not mentioned described in more detail. Hopefully they will demonstrate the care and planning implemented throughout Easy Mail Plus. The Backup Routine: The kinds of files you want to back up are selected by clicking on the type. The program "remembers" your selections. Specific files to be backed up are displayed in a list. You can delete as needed with a click, and browse for a file you want to add to the list. Designated files can be backed up with a click. After files are compressed and copied, a report is displayed verifying each file, it's destination and date and time. Unsuccessful attempts are logged. You can save the report to a file or print it. There is simply no better way to handle backing up critical data. Reports: A number of pre-configured reports are provided. But you are invited to create custom reports to specifically fit your needs. And it's very easy to do. Available fields are displayed. You simply drag one to a list to be used. For each, you are asked for a heading for the field. As it is created, the report is updated with the heading selected as well as the actual data. Each time you add a field, all headings and data are displayed. A click saves the format. The next time you click on "User Configured Reports," the new format is displayed with others you have created. Click to select any format, then view or print the report. There is simply no easier way to create report formats. And this approach assures you get exactly the reports you need. Address Formats: Four address formats can be defined by specifying from 3 to 8 lines, each from 30 - 50 character in length. You drag database fields from a list, and drop them on the appropriate line. Options include your preferences for punctuation. At print time, addresses too large to fit on the selected envelope or label are automatically output in a smaller font size to avoid truncation of the address. Updates: By selecting Updates in the main menu, the database engine or thesaurus can be downloaded and automatically installed with a click. Further, you can download the latest zip code data and on-line help file, both of which are updated as appropriate. More important is the Update option. When clicked, changes and fixes in the latest version of Easy Mail Plus are briefly defined. If you want the upgrade, a click downloads and installs it, then restarts the system with the latest version. Note there is never a charge for updates. Hopefully the above demonstrates our commitment to ease of use and attention to details. You will find these characteristics in all elements of the program.
