WinHeist was written by a hobbyist for use by other hobbyists with an affliction for organization and limited patience. With that in mind the design goals were simple, keep it as simple as possible, but provide the option for more functionality should the need arise.
The WinHeist application is fairly straight forward, easy to use and intuitive when using the basic functionality but can be a tad more complex when the user takes advantage of the other optional modules within WinHeist. Get WinHeist and take it for a spin to see what it can actually do for you!
Here are some key features of "WinHeist":
· Configurable - Configured to organize components in a Category/Subcategory model that is defined by the user.
· Advanced Search - Search by Category or by text in component title.
· Order Tracking - An Order is a collection of components and information such as the supplier and pricing information related to each component. When the items have been received the user may commit the order and inventory will automatically update inventory.
· Supplier and Pricing - is optional but used in conjuction with Order Tracking provide a powerful means to keep a record of component inventory.
· Price Comparison - In the order module an option to compare prices for components in the order by supplier has been provided. This is a new feature.
· Project tracking - Like Order tracking Project Tracking allows the user to create a Bill of Materials and when committed will automatically update inventory.
· Contexual Notes
· Alerts - may be set on a component to notify the user when a components count gets to or below a certain value or zero. The component line in the grid will display a red background when an alert is active for a given component. An option is also provided in the main toolbar to create an order based on alerts.
· Data Sheet attachment - Each component may have a datasheet attached to it and can be viewed by clicking on the icon in the component line in the grid.
· Auto naming - Since entering data is the most time consuming activity an option is provided to automatically generate the name using the {Subcategory}{Category}{Value} construct.
