Eric Stephani completes the new Epsilon Beta membership database

For the last couple of months, Eric Stephani has been working on the development of a new membership database for Epsilon Beta. He is currently an active member of Epsilon Beta and a computer science major. Access to this database will be limited to ACB and its developer. (please don't ask for copies) Reports and labels may be available for weddings, newsletters and such. We respect the privacy of our members, and for that reason limited personal data is available on our webpage.

Feature List:
Tracks relevant data for actives and alumni. (ex. names, addresses, phone numbers, donations)
Add, edit, delete actives and alumni interactively.
Easily move actives to alumni status.
Automatically generate address verification email to send to alumni.
Automatically generate and send verification email to groups of alumni at a time.
Print contact list for both alumni and actives.
Reports on donations which include relevant information. (ex. counts, totals)
Print a list of updates ordered by least current to make updating addresses easier.
Print home mailing labels for alumni.

Future additions:
Ability to create mailing lists to import into email programs. (ex. Outlook, Groupwise, Eudora)
Ability to import/export data in multiple formats. (Ex. ASCII, Excel, Palm Address Books)
Ability to undelete records that have been deleted. Alternate layout selections.
Ability to customize report graphics and titles.
Ability to generate custom labels.
Financial Data encryption.

For any technical questions regarding this database, please contact Eric Stephani at stephe40@mio.uwosh.edu
