Here at Qrimp we're always at work adding more features to the Qrimp Platform to give you more options. Below is a list of some of the features currently available. The Qrimp Platform is a Software as a Service (SaaS) product and all updates and new features are available to existing applications.
Information Modeling
Modules
Modules are the fastest way to build a Qrimp application. A module is a pre-built data table or set of tables that you install to get a jump start on building your application. A module usually also includes operations and views to display your data. Learn more about modules
Spreadsheet Import/Add a Table
Easily add a new table or data structure to your Qrimp application using our spreadsheet import wizard. Qrimp will look at your data and build a data table around it, creating calendar views, input fields, search forms and reports automatically.
Or use our intuitive traditional-style table builder. Choose from 24 data types or from previously created tables or lookup tables. Once a table is created, configure security and navigational menus with just a few clicks.
Add Many-to-Many Relationships
Use the many-to-many relationship builder to create inter-linked data tables. For example, assign tasks to multiple employees or put students in multiple classes. Qrimp allows for easy creation of these relationships. Select the two tables, give the relationship a name and Qrimp adds drop-downs allowing you to assign tasks to employees and students to classes or vice-versa. Qrimp also shows you related data fields in the right rail, making a thoroughly interconnected system.
Add, Remove or Rename Columns
Change your data model by adding new columns to existing data tables. You can also rename columns, change datatypes and remove fields you don't need.
Security
Username and Password
Usernames and passwords are stored by Qrimp in the database using salted one-way encryption so that even the database administrators can't see users' passwords. The system allows users to login and select Remember Me so they aren't prompted to log in every time they access the system. The system also prevents users from logging in on multiple stations to help maintain data integrity.
SSL 128-Bit Encryption
All Qrimp applications can be secured using 128-Bit Encryption, the same strength used by e-Commerce sites to protect secure credit card transactions, prevent unauthorized access and man-in-the-middle attacks. To enable SSL for your site, you must purchase a secure certificate.
Group Level Security
Qrimp lets you use group level security to control access to various portions of your information system. When a new user account is created, the user is assigned to one of any number of customized groups. All applications come configured with Administrators, Developers, Testers, Users and Anonymous. Users can be members of many different groups. To make some of your information available to the general public, use the Anonymous group. See the screenshot
Custom Security
In addition to restricting group security for operations by table, you can control access to particular items within a table. Permit users to view only the content they have created or give them the option to make that information available to the public.
You may also want to restrict your application users to viewing only information added by their direct reports or prevent information overload by separating information by corporate divisions, vertically or horizontally or both.
User Management
Configure your Qrimp application to allow anyone on the Internet to create an account and start using the system immediately or require new accounts be authorized by system administrators, ensuring only the people you want to have access to your system are allowed to create accounts and log in.
You also have the capability to create and share information with anonymous users who are not required to log in.
Column Level Security
Want to share some fields with your users and only let a select group see others? Qrimp lets you control access to your information at the column level. Show employee names and addresses to your entire team, but only share salaries with the HR Department. Show product prices in your online store, but keep the costs hidden. See the screenshot
Reports
Crosstab Reports
Crosstab reports rotate information and present it in a more intuitive fashion to help users better understand data. The Qrimp Platform allows users to build crosstab reports very easily with point-n-click. See the screenshot
Standard Reports - Pie, Bar, Graph
All areas of the site have automatic reporting built in. If you have a projects table and you're keeping track of companies, clicking on the reports link gets you many reports, including, such as projects per company and revenue per year. We love our reports - they're really cool! You'll find information you didn't even know you had!
Custom Reports
If the automatic reports don't quite present the information you need, Qrimp's custom report generator allows you to navigate multiple tables and join information together to choose how to list or aggregate that information to get exactly the metrics you are after. For example, you could set up a report to see the sum of task hours worked on projects grouped by company or task priority or see how much revenue your products generate by product type. See the screenshot
Information Management
Wiki Editing
With Wiki Editing, users can create links to other items or areas of your application, streamlining your information organization by directly integrating links. Just add square brackets around a topic name and Qrimp links to that item automatically. If your square bracketed item is misnamed or gone, Qrimp performs a search for it.
Menu Builder
Qrimp's Menu Builder lets you create quick navigation menus to guide you to your information. Add menus to any table, form, view, report, or even to an individual item anywhere in your application. You can even create menus to data tables or views with fields pre-populated to save you time in data entry. See the screenshot
Notifications
Set custom notifications to alert you by email or text message. Choose be alerted when anyone creates, deletes, updates, or modifies a record. Specify filter criteria to send notifications only when some portion of the updated content matches those criteria.
For example, you can be notified when anyone creates a new task assigned to you. See the screenshot
Search
All information entered in your Qrimp application is searchable! Search for items within a particular table using fields specific to that table or search your entire system for a word, phrase, or date from anywhere in the site. We really like the date search! See the screenshot
Audit Logging
If you enable audit logging on your information store, Qrimp allows you to see who created any information and when. It'll also add newly created items to the New Content list organized by area so you can quickly see which additions have been made and stay up to date.
Change Log
The legal world is getting more concerned about the history of your information. Attorneys are asking for complete corporate data records, including records of all changes and who made them.
Enable Qrimp versioning to keep the complete history of your information from creation to deletion. Compare the current version of an item to past records to see how it has changed, who changed it, or even revert to a previous version. The items are presented side-by-side with changes highlighted.
File Attachments with Automatic Thumbnails
Attach any type of file to an item in your application. Accepted file types are nearly unlimited and include all types of word processing documents, spreadsheets, zip files, images and digital video files (instantly viewable). When you attach an image, thumbnails are created automatically. Qrimp has the capability to view multiple types of attachments without the need to download or launch external programs. Qrimp is also forward compatible, so as browser-based file viewers are made available, your Qrimp application will work with them.
Input Validation
Maintain data integrity! Applications created with the Qrimp Platform ensure that users enter data correctly before saving it. Dates have to be dates, numeric fields have to have numbers in them and required fields can't be left blank. Friendly default error messages notify your users of data entry mistakes, or create your own!
Menus
Add menu here...
Add Menu Navigation Tabs from any page, any database, any view! Whether it's a specific view of data sorted and filtered by certain criteria or your home portal, adding a menu means gives you the control you want to navigate your information in the way that is intuitive to you.
Group Level Visibility
You can control visibility of any menu tabs, restricting table access to particular groups of users within your application. You can even decide if some menus will be available to people who don't log in at all. This gives you the flexibility to use the same system to maintain your information and present it to customers.
Icons
Use icons as visual markers to find particular areas of the site or records. Qrimp Menus are built with integrated icon capability. Use any number of icons from one or multiple icon sets.
User Interface
Calendar View
The calendar view is available for any information that has a date field. Using drag and drop, it's easy to shuffle items around on your schedule or modify release dates, meetings, or any other date based information. See the screenshot
Tree View
Tree view is perfect for when a set of information will be hierarchical in nature, for example projects and sub-projects or managers and employees. Qrimp looks at your information and automatically knows if it can be presented hierarchically and if so, gives you a tree view that allows you to quickly and easily drill down to exactly the information you are after.
Text Editing
Qrimp makes it easy to input text based information. Expand input fields with the click of a button or format the content using the toolbar. It's also easy to link to other content within your organization using wiki-style square bracket notation. Just add square brackets and Qrimp does the rest. We also have a great little counter that tells you exactly how much content you've entered. See the screenshot
Drag and Drop Redesign
Displays of data records can be rearranged to suit your preference by dragging and dropping fields to new locations on the screen.
Multiple Browser Support
The Qrimp quality assurance team is constantly testing the application to make sure it works on all the major browsers including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Safari so your organization, customers, and partners can use your internal applications or corporate extranets without wondering if it'll actually work on their system.
Qrimp apps also work on most web-enabled mobile devices.
Custom Templates and Skins
The Qrimp template system allows you to customize the look and feel of any portion of the site, from menus, headers, footers -- or even individual data elements within your information store.
Use HTML and CSS to define custom layouts and views. Upload your own logo or stylesheets to customize the look and feel of design elements like hyperlinks, text input fields, images, content borders and more. See the screenshot
Messaging
Send External Emails
The Qrimp messaging system is part of the Contacts Module. It allows users to send emails to any individual with a valid email account from within the database application. When sending emails externally, a new contact will be created if none exists and an interaction logged. This helps you better organize your communications. You can also track the value of each communication using reports to show you which interactions have generated revenue or product sales.
Check POP3 accounts
Ever get tired of checking your various email accounts when you don't have any new messages? Qrimp comes with integrated POP3 email checking. Check any remote accounts and get alerted of new messages. Clicking a link will take you right to your Inbox and save you the time and trouble of checking many different accounts you may use infrequently. See the screenshot
Qrimp Publisher
Publishing Destinations
Qrimp can be configured with any number of remote publishing destinations. Whether you are running a retail store, blogs, or an internal communications website, Qrimp enables you to maintain your information using the power of relational databases, while also giving you the flexibility to publish that information to high performance static websites.
Custom Templates
Create custom templates for your remote publishing destinations allowing you to present the same information in multiple styles.
Publishing History
Qrimp keeps a constant record of your publishing history so you always know what your website looked like on any particular date. This comes in quite handy when you need to verify what your public communications looked like for auditing purposes, product recalls or news releases.
Qrimp Synchronizer
Disaster Recovery
Set up automatic database backups to run nightly, weekly, or at any other interval. If a machine crashes or the network fails, users can work in the app offline, reducing downtime even through catastrophic events like tornadoes and earthquakes.
Work Offline
The power of the web is only powerful if you're connected to it. With Qrimp Synchronizer, you can save a copy of your database to your hard drive and browse through it and create new information while you are disconnected from your corporate network or the Internet.
When you go back to the office or reconnect simply synchronize again and go back online. You can choose to upload changes made locally or only download the data on the remote server. And the interface stays the same! See the screenshot
