- What is T.E.P.?
-
- T.E.P. stands for Transitional Employment Program. Many times,
- handicapped, whether physical or mental, people have a tough
- time returning to the workplace. Many outpatient and social club
- programs offer a way. T.E.P. programs help place someone in
- a job where they will be trained and supervised by a staff
- member of the program. As the person becomes used to working
- again, he/she may move on to a more challenging job. This
- T.E.P. database is a simple database for storing helpful
- information about the employee, and about the company where
- he/she may be placed.
-
-
- What is this Database?
-
- This database stores, retrieves, and allows you to modify
- Employee and Company records. Up to 1000 records for employee
- or 1000 records for Company are allowed. A search function
- is included for finding records that have something in common.
- (see below). An IBM (r) or compatible computer with hard
- drive is required.
-
- To install on your hard drive, insert program floppy and
- make a hard disk directory, say <md webster><ENTER>. Then
- move to the floppy drive, and <copy *.* c:\webster>, copying
- all files to hard drive. Run Webster from the hard drive
- directory.

- Employmant-Company Menu
-
- The first menu allows you to toggle between Employee or
- Company mode. Employee stores full page records on Employees
- who have been -or may- be placed with a Company for a job.
- To switch, lets say, from Employee to Company from deeper in the
- program, you should press Escape key till you "back out" to
- this menu. As with all other menu screens and the Name List
- screen, you move up and down arrows to highlight desired
- choice, and then press Enter to choose or Select the desired item.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Main Menu: "All" choice
-
- "All" allows you to s ee all records, either Employees or
- Companies. If any records are present, you will get a
- list of names, with the first one highlighted. You move
- through the list with the up or down arrows. If at the top
- right more than 1 page is indicated ("Pge 1 of 2"), you
- may use the PgUp and PgDn keys to page through the list
- as well. When you press Enter on a highlighted item,
- that record is displayed. The "Record Screen" is described
- below. Any time a record screen is displayed- with all the
- information for each Employee or Company, you may Edit the
- record. To escape (without change) from the record screen,
- press the Escape key.

-
- Main Menu: "Search" choice.
-
- "Search" allows you to see selected records only. You
- are presented with a Search Menu when you press search
- choice from the main menu. Here are the two Search menus:
- Search Employees by: Search Companies by:
-
- ------------------------- -------------------------
- | Last Name | | Company |
- | Present Employer | | Contact |
- | Past Experience | | Employees |
- | Interests | | Type Position |
- | Education | | Notes |
- | Exit | | Exit |
- ------------------------- -------------------------
-
-
-
- These all refer to text fields in the Employee/Company records.
- By choosing one, you may type in what you are searching for.
- The Last Name, Present Employer, Company, and Contact fields
- look for an exact match, the other fields will find a
- record that contains the word(s) you type anywhere in the
- field in question. Thus, under Employees, if you search
- on Interests for "dish", all Employees interested in say
- "dish" or "dishwasher" or "dishwashing" will be found.
-
- To escape from the search menus, or search request, press
- Escape.
-
- When the records are found, you will be presented with
- a list of employee names, or companies that satisfy your
- search request. You may then highlight a choice, and press
- Enter (as with "All") to bring up one record at a time.
- As with "All", these records may be edited any time.
- ------> Please note, if when doing a search, you end up editing
- the field you searched on, the name list will still contain
- this record, until you back out to the Search Menu.
-
-
-
- "Add" choice
-
- Add allows you to add a record. Please see "record screens"
- below. Note that if the Last name or Company name already
- exists, the program will not check for this, and the
- same name is used for this new record. It is a good idea
- to check "All" for the name before choosing to "Add" a
- record. Also, if the Last Name, or Company fields are
- left blank (the first field of a record), the database will
- not Accept the record when you push F10 (Accept).

- Record Screens
-
- When you select "All" or "Search", you will choose the record
- to view from a list. In "Search" all records on the list
- meet your search choice. In "Add" you will see a blank
- record to fill in. From any of these routes, a Record Screen
- may be edited. After you make any changes, you must press
- the F10 function key (at the top row on your keyboard). If
- you select F8 or Escape, the record will remain unchanged.
- If in "Add", the record will not be saved at all.
-
- The "Record Screen" contains headings relating to your
- T.E.P. employees, or to your Company file. To fill in a
- subject, move highlight bar up or down to highlight the
- field. Then type in the information. To recap, the
- following fields must be Exact, and will be searched for
- an exact match:
- Employee:
- Last Name, Present Employer
- Company:
- Company, Contact
-
- In the employee records, the fields for "Resume on File"
- and "Transportation" require a y for yes, or a n for no.
-
- All other fields can have "fuzzy match". For example, if
- Donald Duck's employee record lists under interests
- "golf, movies, boating", then a search for "movie" will bring
- up Donald Duck's employee record, because the search word
- "movie" is contained somewhere in the Interest field for
- Donald Duck.
-
- To delete a record, press F6 from the record screen. The record
- cannot be retrieved once you press "Y" for "Are you sure?"
- You will be bounced back to the main menu from a delete.
- The record is gone once it is deleted.
-
-
- Extended Record Screens for Company/Employee
- (two comment screens per record)
- When in either EMPLOYEE or COMPANY mode, there are now two screens
- attached to each record screen. When you have a record screen,
- press the Page Down key to access two screens for free-
- form notes. To exit these screens, Press Page Up. Remember
- to save your new comments, you must press F10 from the
- main record screen for the COMPANY in question. The
- main record string is the one with labels down the left
- side of the screen (such as "Last Name" "First Name" or
- "Company" "Contact").
