Examples of recent products include:
**STARS** - a student academic
records database program that:
| Uploads basic student information from a central institutional
database; |
| Facilitates enrolment of students into classes within
subjects; |
| Calculates final marks based on user input for separate
assessments, employing user-editable formulae; final grades automatically calculated from
final marks (over-write by user possible); |
| Downloads results into an institutional result-reporting
database; |
| Automates letter-sending to individuals, members of classes or
subjects, students with certain minimum marks, etc; |
| Allows easy selection of Honors students with a single
key-press by displaying all marks received by students over all years, and automatically
sends invitation letters to selected students; |
| Automates production of student profiles; |
| Provides extensive statistical analyses of grade distributions
and other data in both tabular and graphical formats; |
PublishOr - a Faculty-based
staff profiling program that
| Interrogates a variety of unconnected institutional databases
and converts their data into user-friendly (and readable!) format; |
| Allows partially-automated data entry on issues of local
relevance; |
| Provides extensive searching, sorting and filtering
capabilities on the data, usually with no more than a couple of button-clicks from the end
user; |
| Printable reports (with tables and graphics) at the click of a
button; |
| Exporting capabilities. |
MTEX - A Master's Thesis
Examination program that:
| Not only tracks the progress of individual students through
the examination process, but also:
 | automatically sends user-modifiable preformatted letters to
all relevant people at each stage of the examination process (with all fields
auto-inserted into the letters); |
| automatically prints the required number of copies
of letters; |
| instantaneously displays the stage to which a student has
progressed in the examination process and what needs to be done before progressing to the
next stage - answer student queries without having to dig through mountains of
paper-work! |
| automatically sends letters to examiners and others whose
response is overdue. |
|
| Uses automated data entry through lookups wherever possible; |
| Provides user-modifiable statistical data. |
BROOMS - a network-based
room-booking program (with a sense of humor!) especially designed for large organizations
with pressure on space and a premium on flexibility that:
| Ensures all users can immediately see the availability of any
room at any time; |
| Lets users quickly find available space at any time; |
| Allows users to enter "bids" for available rooms at
particular times (both for extended periods, such as a weekly booking over a semester or
year, or on a one-off basis). These bids are processed by a central booking office
and the results are automatically received by remote users; |
| Facilitates ultra-fast searches for rooms and time-slots; |
| Lets remote users view (and sort and/or filter and/or export
to another file format, with a just a single button-click or a few keystrokes) all their
confirmed bookings; |
| Easily distinguishes between bookings for the
"current" or "next" year; |
| Enables "priority" over specific rooms for specific
users at certain times (a great compromise between "territoriality" and
"efficient use"!); |
| |
TimeTable Direct - a timetabling
program that takes data straight from the BROOMS program and, with
just a few button clicks, and no data entry at all, turns them
into a finished timetable, ready for printing or deployment to the World Wide Web.
Note: TimeTable Direct comes
with a variety of options, including the ability to enter timetable data for rooms not
included in the BROOMS program, to enter additional data for timetable
display, and to automatically reproduce timetable entries under linked headings.
All of the above programs can be adapted for use in new
situations, and we welcome the opportunity to take on new challenges!
No matter how complex the problem, Dynamic Array can
find a software solution that will save you time, money and the embarrassment caused by
data-entry errors!
