Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products. This allows you to record the information relating to a particular inventory.
The name of the Page is MSDS, however all of the data field headings may be altered by the user so this page can be used for the storing of almost any type of data. The basic layout and functionality of this MSDS page is the same as the Custom Page in this drop-down menu in a Base Inventory inquiry. There is however one major exception as described below.
The user should note that this MSDS Page has Transaction lines, however these may be best described as subpages. When the initial MSDS page is selected, SapphireOne will display a list of transaction lines or subpages as seen below. Once a subpage has been selected each subpage is exactly the same as the Custom Page further up the Base Inventory Inquiries drop-down menu.
Double clicking on a line will allow the user to modify the selected page of MSDS data. An additional button provides additional functionality to print out details from this MSDS page by allowing easy access to the Quick Report function. This will allow the production of customised reports to be produced as required for any MSDS data.
All of the Data Field Headings may be altered by going to: Utilities > Controls > Change Names .The user will find these Data Field Headings as the very last items in the list of Data Field Heading. Please refer to Custom Page described above for more information.
Dictation and Speech to Text Overview
SapphireOne’s Dictation (MacOS) and Speech to Text (Windows) functionalities revolutionise data entry. These features are available for any data entry field and all inquiry screens within SapphireOne. For instance, when a user makes a call via the SapphireOne Softphone, SapphireOne automatically timestamps the contact and phone number. Post-call, users can dictate notes directly into the CRM contact memo field in relation to the stamp.
This functionality is applicable across all Data Entry screens. As examples, when entering a Vendor Invoice (VI), users can dictate memos directly. Similarly, additional lines can be added to the General Ledger account, with each line having a unique memo field. After an employee interview, users can efficiently dictate notes.
Speech to Text and Dictation are powerful tools that SapphireOne and its clients use daily, significantly saving time.
