VISTA Plus for MPE User's Guide

CHAPTER 7
VISTA Plus Demonstration
This chapter is designed to give you an introduction to the viewer features of VISTA Plus. VISTA
Plus provides online, full-screen viewing for reports, which saves time and money. You can use
VISTA Plus to search for values faster than you could perform a manual search with a printed copy
of a report. And, by reviewing the report online, printing costs (both paper and wear on the printer)
may be reduced.
After reviewing the results online, you can print sections of the report using VISTA Plus, if you
want. Rather than printing multiple copies of a report for different managers to review, all
reviewers can access the report through VISTA Plus. And, if indices are set by the first reviewer,
subsequent reviewers can check the report very quickly, seeing only the highlighted sections.
When a report is placed in a VISTA Plus folder, it is compressed to occupy less disk space. At that
time, indices can be applied automatically to a report. Security options to limit user access can also
be applied automatically to the report. Once indices and security options have been designed for a
report or type of report, subsequent generations can have these features automatically applied.
