To control all of Klatu's online stores, they needed a Control Panel that presents their centralized SQL data via a centralized interface. Using Win Forms (VB.NET), a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application was developed to control multiple operations and reports. Features include a Trouble Ticket System with Auto-Sign & Response Library as well as an add to Knowledge Base (KB) function, a Web Errors Notification System, Web Browser, and Data Manager. Reports such as Page Impressions, Orders and more can be exported to Excel, XML, CSV and TXT with the option of adding other extensions easily.
Via the Klatu.net web site, users can sign-up for a Test Drive of the Klatu eCom Application, where Klatu staff can then active and inactivate Test Drive and Live eCom sites on-the-fly. In addition to the administrative functionality, the Klatu Administrator 0.5 also incorporates several customizable controls to position forms and toolbars effectively, thus remembers where and which forms the representative uses. XML and Datasets were used to store configuration information as well as SQL data for a semi-disconnected state as Klatu required instant SQL updates while minimizing round trips to the SQL server.
