Quick customization for a competitive edge.
C3 Augmenter Development Toolkit
Making Oracle
E-Business Suite do exactly what your company needs it to do can
require extensive customization. But customizations can be costly both
to develop and maintain, especially when Oracle E-Business is upgraded.
C3 Augmenter lets you customize…without development
Because so many C3 clients asked for an economical method, we created C3 Augmenter suite of development tools. C3 Augmenter handles the most common forms customization tasks quickly, and business process owners can do the work without increasing your IT department’s development load. And the customizations it creates are upgradeable, with little risk of being disrupted by patches and upgrades.
Superior to standard Oracle methods
C3 Augmenter is similar to Oracle’s Custom Library (custom.pll) and easier to use than Oracle’s Forms Personalizations. C3 Augmenter is more comprehensive and allows you to:
- Add conditional business rules logic.
- Zoom from one form to another.
- Add items to the Tools Special menu.
- Submit concurrent requests.
- Create or modify List of Values.
- Add validation to fields (required, uppercase, etc.)
- Add, hide or remove fields.
- Define pop-up messages.
- Deploy a library of pre-defined augmentations.
C3 Augmenter simplifies Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
If you don’t use any other feature of C3 Augmenter, the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance capability would be worth the price. C3 Augmenter gives you:
- Segregation of Duties: control which functions each user can perform (enter, update, view).
- Hundreds of pre-defined internal controls templates
- Auditing on any field—tracking, reporting, reasons, notifications
- Tracking of all C3 Augmenter changes
- Descriptions and reporting of all C3 Augmenter extensions
- Automatic notification in case of violations
C3 Augmenter improves user navigation
C3 Augmenter lets you quickly improve user navigation and make forms more efficient and flexible. With it you can:
- Add items to your list of Zooms or the Tools Menu.
- Give users the ability to open a related form from the current one with a single click, even if the form is in a separate responsibility.
- Set up navigation with Auto-Query: automatically populate values with the click of the mouse.
- Safeguard data with Query-Only Navigation: users may view but not alter.
C3 Augmenter makes workflows easier
Workflows are an important part of maintaining business efficiency and accountability, C3 Augmenter lets you:
- Add your own workflow quick, easy, flexible.
- Use built-in conditional logic to control when workflow operates and which users or responsibilities are included in the workflow procedure.
- Set up approvals and notifications based upon specific events.
- Generate unique approval lists for pending workflow actions.
- Identify steps to follow if an action is either approved or rejected.
- Create as many approvals as needed or use the “vote” system to determine the number of required approvals that will drive the workflow process forward.
- Send notifications to users or roles to update or inform users of a pending workflow action.
- Include dynamic information in your notification message.
- Reduce workload by having Oracle reports run at the conclusion of a workflow process.
- Initialize additional workflow procedures based on the results of a SQL query.
- Utilize the power of your SQL procedures and packages to put the finishing touches on your workflow creation.
Manage development
Making powerful development tools like C3 Augmenter available more widely has an obvious downside. Chaos can result unless adequate controls are present. So Augmenter helps IT managers keep an eye on development and exert quality control. It can:
- Report and audit all augmentations from a central repository with C3iQ reporting engine.
- Control changes to augmentations with reason and approval requirements.
- Report with filtering capabilities of all augmentations, comments and changes.
C3 Augmenter does it all. For more information and pricing, contact C3 Business Solutions today.
