INcontrol Client, a main part of the INcontrol System, contains all of the main features and functions of the INcontrol System: ordering, receiving, tracking, reporting, adjusting, posting, exporting, and more..

Logging On - Log onto an INcontrol Server

When using the INcontrol Client, you log into an INcontrol Server.  Servers are accessed via TCP/IP over an existing internet connection, whether it is a T1, DSL, Cable, or even a conventional dial-up via modem. Restrictions can exist when trying to log onto an INcontrol Server as needed by the admin.

Changing Inventories

You are able to switch back and forth between the different inventories simply by clicking on a button. Inventory at your site can be tracked with different inventory names for different suppliers to allow flexibility and reduce redundancy in the inventories.

Reordering Columns

The various columns of information can be reordered on all of the lists.  INcontrol Client automatically keeps track of the column order for each inventory accessed on the system.

Sorting and Filtering Lists

Items in the lists can be sorted by clicking on the desired column header. In addition to sorting the various lists, you also have the option of limiting what items are displayed (which is referred to as "filtering").

Client And Vendor Part Numbers
