The Product: JIWA Ease of Use / Look & Feel
JIWA is built on standard, modern, Microsoft technologies and has deliberately kept its Microsoft "look and feel".
Flexible Tabs, Columns & Fields
Tabs, columns and fields throughout the system may be renamed, moved around, turned off or have their purpose changed. The example below is of the JIWA Sales Order Entry screen:

Many Screens, One Window
As many JIWA screens (forms) as required may be opened at any one time within the one JIWA menu on your taskbar. You may easily switch between these screens. Furthermore, each screen may be sized to your preference or even tiled as displayed below:

Only See What You Want To See
The information that any particular JIWA user sees is dependant upon what they need to view or what their managers want them to view. For example, Betty, a sales clerk, might only be allowed to see "Sales Order Entry" on the main menu; "Quoting" on the sub-menu invoicing; and "Quoting" and "Betty's Quote Report" on the last menu. All other menu items would not appear to Betty. This also makes training new staff much faster.
