Hero's Interface DesignDatabases require views or Layouts for Searching, Entering and Reporting on the data. Fields and Objects on the layouts determine what you see and what you can do there. This is known as the 'interface'. Hero's interface customises for each user according to loaded images, settings and values entered. The easy-to-use environment shows the changes immediately in all views.
Customised elements include: Button artwork can be replaced and it will be instantly updated throughout the system. |

Hero's NavigationHero has a simple method of navigation deployed throughout. The corporate logo found in the top left corner of every view acts as the "Home" button and takes the user immediately back to the main menu (where the logo appears as the central image). Other buttons are consistently applied wherever they are needed. The database interface provides consistent navigation and data-entry patterns – tailored on-the-fly to the settings of the logged-on user:

Hero OnlineHero can be hosted for access across the local network or the internet. This host can be a single copy of FileMaker Pro allowing a handful of others to connect regularly, or by a copy of FileMaker Server Advanced allowing hundreds of others to connect regularly and simultaneously. Hero can be accessed by using another copy of FileMaker Pro or your web browser. The user experiences are almost identical apart from some special adaptations for the web. Some Administrative tasks must be performed only using FileMaker Pro. These include modifying the Interface or Default Values or Security. Hero also has several web-based portals with PHP pages which merge information from the database and the web site computer's directory structure into the web page. This adds functions like web-based document management, dynamic PDF production, HTML emails with multiple attachments and embedded links, online bookings, web-based email marketing campaign management. |
