Connexall Features are the Tools with which we Build Connexall Solutions

Let’s start with the tool box… • Connexall is comprised of over a 100+ individual software components: servers, clients, utilities, drivers, etc. • All of these parts are compiled and packaged together into a major “release” or “build” – Denoted by a major version number “i.e. 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, etc.”

• Each release typically has a significant new feature offering or unique “theme”

Past Major Connexall Product Releases

•Architecture •Core Functionality

•High Availability •Location Services

•User Object •Assignment Sharing

Plus every release incorporates enhancements to…

Integrations + Workflow Tools + System Performance

Since Version 5, We’ve Been Busy!

And the Theme for Connexall Version 6 is…

•Reporting! and of course…

• More Integrations! • More Workflow Tools! • Better Performance!

Opening the Version 6 Toolbox…

“You can’t manage what you can’t measure”

Legacy Connexall Reporting • Comprehensive reports have existed in Connexall since version 1.0 • Reports were “baked” into the product – Easy to deploy and access

• Wide array of tabular and graphical formats

Legacy Reporting Challenges • Reports were designed to be very generic, to work with any/all solutions. – Some terminology used in the reports was not familiar to some users

• Legacy reporting framework lacked key functionality: – Scheduling – Customization

A New Reporting Framework: SSRS

SSRS Reports: What Are They? • A suite of 16+ comprehensive Connexall activity reports based on Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services – Tabular, chart, trend, heat-map, and gauge styles

• SSRS enables “web-based” reporting via a standard browser • Allows anyone in enterprise to access Connexall reports (with appropriate permissions).

SSRS Reports: Key Advantages • Reporting can now be decoupled from Connexall source code • New or modified reports can now be created without having to deploy updated Connexall executables.

• In addition to browser, key SSRS reports can be launched via the legacy DAC report dialog. • Maintains seamless compatibility and user experience for legacy sites.

• Faster report generation • Reports are rendered on the server, not the client workstation.

SSRS Reports: Key Advantages • Scheduled reports! • A long-standing feature request that wasn’t practical using legacy reporting.

• Supports the creation of “Linked” reports • Allows a simplification of input criteria for specific units, users or departments in the facility

• Custom reports! • Through your own in-house DBA/analyst resource • Through engagement of Connexall professional services

SSRS Reports: System Requirements • Requires SQL Server 2008(R2) and Microsoft Reporting Services 2008 SP2 or higher. • Reports are deployed and managed using Microsoft SSRS Report Manager • Connexall CDC client is required to supply activity data into the SQL Server database. • Installation package includes: – 16+ Report Definition files (RDL) – SQL Server script file (auto-configures required stored procedures, functions and extended properties)

Opening the Version 6 Toolbox…

“Bypass Suspend on Count” • The Connexall “suspend” feature can greatly reduce alarm fatigue by filtering sporadic short duration events that are clinically irrelevant. • However for some clinical alarms, a given number of sporadic events within a certain period of time can signify a problem that does require the caregiver’s attention…

Normal Suspend Feature

Bypass Suspend on Count
