Someone else should start a thread of things they Like About NV2.

1. Simplify the Right Click feature:

– Eliminate File, Window and Help. These can be accessed at the top.

– I don’t like the fact that if All the +’s are opened you cannot see all the choices, nor is there a scroll bar. Suggest that as with the top have the Options for each item appear automatically to the right as the mouse stops at an item. At Edit, you would see: Copy, Cut, etc appear to right.

– Unsure if I like the Rt box reappearing as last represented. Think I’d prefer it revert to just main choices, especially if choices would appear without having to click +.

– Have the options dissappear as mouse moves off the item, main items remain.

– Limit the Rt Click main items. Suggest just Key activities: Block, Print,
GoTo, View, CalculateRun, Edit …

– the Full choices would be available from the Top toolbar.

– “Blocking” is a KEY function in NV. Simplfy the process by using the Windows method. Hold mouse on Line number and drag down to block rows or same with columns. Even Click, hold Shift key and Click.

– Have blocked area dissappear if you click off the area.

– Add the feature of holding Ctrl key and Click selective rows or columns (would add to items already blocked)

– Click on “LineV” to block all

– Combine the Default Value with Edit.

– Get rid of the two Delete choices and only have one. What about using the Delete Key? (although you may have to add a prompt).

– Anyone else confused about Get, Set, Clear and Pick, Clear? There is also a Block Clear.

– Combine actions (ok, I’ve said before), ie only have one Copy, Delete, Move, Clear and these actions would work for each situation. I’d leave then under Edit.

– What is the GoTo Active item?

– Put all “Procedures” or those type of nv2 choices under “Tools” or what I called CalculateRun above.

– What’s the purpose of additionals Rt Click boxes if you keep adding them in the boxes which appear?

2. Drop Arrow on Report, Account & Posting.

– Put the “Default” or Normal screen as the 1st item. For example: Vendor Account Setup is the normal so make it the first item when you click the Dn Arrow, same with Posting Explorer.

– Maybe I should have asked What is the Default screen? When I look at AR Customer Information Views, it looks like the nv1 Setup View. However when I look at AP Customer Information Views it is completely different from the AR.

I realize every user can define what columns they want to see, but we should set a Common Default (whether they want to use it or not) so new users or people who are trying to learn the program can always get to a familiar screen. That rule should apply to each area in nv2.

There is no way Basic or New users will understand that selecting the same view for different reports will not show the same information. Worse if the selected view changes every time someone modifies the columns and they can’t easily go back to something normal such as the nv1 Setup View.

3. Date Columns:

– Where a date is in a column heading, ie: Account/AR-Invoice Aging column shows “Total Due At 09 Jul 2005”, allow user to TYPE in the date they want in the heading. They would click on the heading and type “3006, Enter” to see Jun 30 2005 (not having to type year is it already shows).

– Date input should be available for each column where dates are displayed, without having to go to a screen input area (ie: Account/AR Multiple Period Analysis screen, allow user to input dates in column headers directly).
