Unsure of what you need? Review our Features and Functions Checklist.

Viking Data Entry (VDE) has been the preferred solution for faster, easier, more accurate keyboard data entry from paper documents for over 20 years. It combines the best features of "heads up" and "heads down" data entry in an integrated system available on a variety of computer platforms—PC, Linux, UNIX, VMS. VDE's full-screen approach makes it as effective for "heads up" applications as it is for "heads down" entry. VDE includes the tools that are critical for the most challenging key entry applications.

You can easily customize VDE to meet requirements of the most demanding applications using the optional API and associated tools. Use standard programming languages—no need to learn specialized data entry languages.

Highlights of Windows Release Version 4.5

Version 4.5 is now available; click a feature to learn more:

Custom color palettes

The Forms Painter color palette can be customized for each form set. You may adjust the red, green and blue values to create any color.

Control of operator access to jobs

VDE production jobs can now be assigned to up to five job groups, and each operator can be restricted to specific groups. This feature lets you distinguish data entry jobs for one company location or department from another while still using a shared Viking installation. Or it can be used simply to control the access to certain data entry jobs.

Custom menus for lead operators

You can specify which supervisory menu options are accessible to which lead operators.

Mouse wheel support

The mouse wheel can be used to scroll text in the Viewer/Printer utility.

Keypad function key assignment

You can map keys on the keypad to VDE function keys—for example, map the 4 key to F9 and the 6 to F10, to move back and forward a field using the keypad.

VMONITOR—a new user monitor utility

In addition to all of the functions performed by the old monitor utility, VMONITOR displays the job and batch each user is working on, and includes options to print a report of current user activity. You can view Viking license information, as well as switch to a mini-view display that refreshes itself every few minutes.
