We are in the need of custom forms software to help run out business. I would like to have someone build a software package that does the following:
Runs off of a Sql Server Database
Has Ability to add users and security levels
Ability to add forms with security levels
Store Forms information in database
If form needs to be approved, then it must notify manager
Print Form
Search Forms
Basically here is how it works:
A user logs in, they select the form they want to use - Example Purchase Order Form. The form must have the abililty to auto assign a number to it. The user enters the information on the form like Vendor (perhaps from a drop down box), item being purchased, amount of item. They then Send it for approval. The form will then be saved in the database until the Manager Signs on and he will see a list of forms that need approval. The manager opens the form and approveds it with his password. The form then gets Printed or Sent to the Purchaser to complete the process. Finally when the product is received or bill is received, the Accounts Payable person will put the check number on it and close the form (store it for viewing purposes only).
We have about 10 forms now. I see the program having a Form Setup Wizard. Each form could have up to say 25 fields. So perhaps the forms could be created on the fly with a database table which is forms definitions. Some basic information on the forms will always be the same like FormID, UserSubmitted, ManagerApproved, etc..
