INFOtrac Scripting Language

The INFOtrac Scripting Language is one of the key tools by which INFOtrac can be customized to meet your organization’s unique and specific needs. Through the INFOtrac Scripting Language the functions that are built into INFOtrac can be accessed and automated, and this can provide the type of incredible functionality not available in other software programs.

Building custom screens with the INFOtrac Screen Designer is fast, easy and very effective. INFOtrac’s Scripting language however, takes INFOtrac to an even higher level of sophistication and customizability. Using simple programming rules, the INFOtrac Scripting Language allows for the customization of INFOtrac so as to meet individual or organizational requirements. INFOtrac Scripting releases the full functionality and power of INFOtrac and allows the building of source code-level solutions. Able to deploy a series of callable objects within standard programming scripts, Scripting opens up INFOtrac and enables its full personalization. This sets INFOtrac apart from existing systems, and creates a perfect balance between standard “shrink-wrapped” software and true custom programming.

With INFOtrac Scripting, the time it takes to customize a solution is greatly minimized. Typical software programming and development can take as much as 10 times longer than INFOtrac Scripting development. This allows for the implementation of comprehensive INFOtrac solutions that are perfectly tailored to your organization's needs, without the extensive costs associated with traditional programming and software development. The use of INFOtrac Scripting allows for effective and clearly defined software customization at a fraction of the time demanded by the "black hole" of custom programming. INFOtrac Scripting therefore allows for the effective control of development costs, timelines and outcomes. While INFOtrac Scripting requires basic programming abilities, the system does not demand a highly experienced or advanced programmer. Junior programmers can invoke the Scripting functions in INFOtrac and build comprehensive customizations within the system.

The ways in which INFOtrac Scripting can be used to customize INFOtrac are virtually limitless. Customization can involve the addition of intelligence to individual fields for example, where fields within INFOtrac can be made visible or accessible to only certain users under specific and defined circumstances. INFOtrac Scripting also enables the execution of trigger-based activities within INFOtrac. Data that is entered into INFOtrac can be used to trigger the automatic appearance and/or processing of fields and screens within INFOtrac, and can be invoked only when specific activities take place within the system.

Such broad and pliable functionality can have an extremely profound impact on your business processes. It can eliminate the need for you to manage tedious and complex workflows, documents and procedures; and free you to focus on more pressing, client-focused issues.

INFOtrac Scripting also allows for additional custom security beyond the strong security levels already inherent within INFOtrac and the INFOtrac Advanced Screen Designer. This allows custom security based upon your specific business process needs and organizational requirements.

To provide examples of INFOtrac’s incredible flexibility, a number of business processes that have been already automated by INFOtrac Scripting have been included in the Business Process Automation section of this web site, under ‘Business Solutions’.
