01. MDI (Multiple Document Interface)

HR3pay is an MDI application. What does that mean to you? Software falls into one of two categories, either SDI (Single Document Interface - one screen open at a time) or MDI (many screens open at a time). Most software developers choose SDI because it is easier for them. HR3 has developed HR3pay as an MDI application so the end user has the option to open multiple screens at the same time. The benefits are many. Think about the number of times you’ve had to close a window to go and check something else and then repeat the process to get back to where you were originally; this doesn’t happen in HR3pay. The screen shot above shows several HR3pay functions and screens open at the same time.

Benefits;
• run multiple reports at the same time for comparison purposes without having to print out a hard copy
• jump from the Payrun Entry screen to an Employee Maintenance screen to make a change and then immediately return to the point you left off in the Payrun
• answer an employee’s enquiry without having to close your current task
