EtQ

Features into its Quality Management
System |

FARMINGDALE,
NY (09-17-07): EtQ
has released enhanced features
allowing users to convert
reports, forms, histories
and file attachments to
Adobe PDF format within
their Quality, FDA Compliance
and Environmental Health
& Safety Software systems.
In many companies, the
need to use the Portable
Document Format (PDF)
is essential to maintaining
the quality system. PDF
files are generally smaller
in size to other files,
and their ready-only format
makes it more efficient
when releasing controlled
documents. Recognizing
this need, EtQ developed
technology to covert files
within the EtQ software
system to PDF, not only
at the file level, but
at many other levels as
well.

PDF View:
This feature enables
users to convert
report views into
PDF. Users are able
to generate a PDF
of all records within
the quality management
view, displaying
quality-related
reports in a consistent
method. All records
are printed in multiple
pages, and if views
are filtered using
EtQ's advanced
filtering tools,
only the records
that are displayed
will be converted
to PDF |

PDF Forms:
In many cases, forms
within the EtQ system
need to be printed,
whether to submit
to external users
or for reporting
purposes. By converting
EtQ forms to PDF,
the forms are automatically
put in read-only
mode, restricting
editing while providing
the quality data
to individuals who
need it most. |

PDF History:
Throughout EtQ's
workflow-based system,
various documents
are linked, and
many activities
can be launched.
For example, a CAPA
may have investigation
phases, activities
linked to it, audit
findings, complaint
handling requests,
and procedures in
document control
that at affected
by the process.
The Print PDF history
feature enables
all phases in the
workflow, as well
as linked activities,
documents, records
and events, to be
converted into one
PDF document. The
benefit is that
if an audit is conducted
on the quality system,
the auditor will
be able to see the
entire history of
a quality-related
event, in one comprehensive
PDF record. |

PDF Attachments:
This feature enables
users to automatically
convert attachments
to PDF, and attach
them to the form.
Using this feature,
users are able to
show/hide attachments,
and display only
the PDF. For example,
if a record within
Document Control
is approved, then
the administrator
can hide the original
document, and display
only the PDF to
end users. This
prevents any user
from downloading
an editable document,
and if a change
request is made,
the original document
will then be shown
within the change
request workflow
process. |

feature is just one of the
