Hi Folks
I'm looking for examples of programs or systems that utilise something like an icon, that can go on everyone's desk top. The icon links to a CI form which can be filled out and the "sent" with a click.
Developing my own for internal use, but wanted to see if anything commercially available that can be loaded up and trialled.
Anyone seen or using something like this?
Cheers

found a basic e-form generator to do it (hopefully - can't actually download the trial version yet).
Just need to get through the IT people without scaring them too much!

Anyone using a form generator they'd recommend?

I created a MSWord document using the "forms" menu to incorporate check boxes, drop down menus and text entry boxes. Under tools I used "protect document" to restrict editing to "filling in forms." This way the format is password protected but the document is accessible. The form is stored on the shared server where anyone can open it and enter information. When they are finished, they just use "save as", rename the document and save it in a designated folder on the server. Since any user can create a short cut to the document, it is easily accessible, no software to download or learn and costs the company nothing.

Similarly a system can be set up in Access which allows for concurrent editing, data validation and easy report generation. It can also interface with Excel (requires some VBA coding), if team members do not all have access to Access.

Some folks with no access to Access (;)) might consider using Open Office

(a free knockoff of Microsoft Office) which has a database module similar to Access.
:topic:
Consider using the term "continual" versus "continuous" - it's a subtle, but meaningful, difference.

David, we use MS Sharepoint. Not an icon, but is extremely powerful system. We can set rights, permissions, etc. Takes some training to get everyone up to speed but works good for us.

Rickser, we use MS SharePoint in our company as well. I use the survey feature to gather feedbacks. It is a powerful tool and not hard to follow.
