SouthWare Extended Data™

Tailoring Your System to Your Business

Get Customized Data without a Programmer!

How would you like to be able to add new information and features to your business system without any custom software? Did you know that you could address many unique needs of your business within a standard software product?

With Extended Data™ you have the ability to add new and specialized information to your SouthWare Excellence Series™ business system. It is very simple to use so you don't have to be a programmer. And best of all you won't affect your ability to add future updates to your system.

Extended Data™ is an add on module that lets you add new data fields to your standard Excellence Series files. These fields become a part of the normal entry and reporting for your system. Extended Data makes all your other modules more valuable by blending your unique information needs into the standard system information.

You can also use Extended Data™to create simple stand-alone databases. For example, if you need a database of the locations of all your office equipment you can set up a custom database file in Extended Data™.

The screen below is an example of Extended Data being defined for the Customer Master File.

This is what the Extended Data Entry Screen for the Customer Master File looks like when it is in use for capturing or editing the extra information that is in Extended Data.
