By default the Allegro Framework includes (apart from the built-in system functions) a number of other services and tools to facilitate work in the Allegro environment:
Although Allegro’s desktop is primarily meant for running tasks available in the menu, you can also place various applications, overviews or relevant graphs on it. The user can place them on the Dashboard to have the required information at hand right after logging in. Several configurations can be stored and flipped between. Dynamic data is updated throughout the entire session.
An e-mail service of sorts but no mail server (such as MS Exchange) is used for sending messages: the communication takes place internally between Allegro users. If an e-mail address is registered with the user account, the messages can also be shared outside of Allegro, via regular e-mail. Templates with built-in macro support can be defined for individual message types, and interconnection with the File Manager ensures that any files can be attached. This can be very practical for directly sending created documents such as invoices, payment reminders, orders, contracts etc. An overview of your inbox and outbox messages can be placed on the Dashboard.
A universal component that can be configured for various uses. For example, it can display the daily use of company vehicles, the scheduling for your training room, or visualize the tax calendar. A custom set of events can be defined for every particular use. The Calendar is also used to show tasks assigned to individual users, and provides an overview of how individual business activities are scheduled.
A tool for managing and monitoring tasks assigned to Allegro users. Apart from description, tasks can also be given a category, priority or deadline, and can be related to a particular customer/supplier contact person. Recurring tasks can be created, allowing you to set reminders for repeated activities in advance for the upcoming year, should you want to. The list of tasks relating to the logged-in user can be placed on the Dashboard and is also displayed in the Calendar.
With this application you can create various messages or memos and define their relevance period. These can then be displayed on the Dashboard for all logged-in users, or automatically published on a web site using the available macros.
You can track contact with your customers and suppliers via this application, which allows recording the type and result of the contact, producing a complete and formatted report from the meeting, or adding various files. Based on these records, tasks or calendar events can immediately be created. All of the customer’s/supplier’s invoices, concluded contracts and previous contacts are always available when making a new entry. Technical support employees, for example, can use the application and have all important information about the given entity at hand.
A unique tool that we’ve developed in order to allow printing from Allegro with the same ease of use and comfort as provided by traditional office applications. Printing from a web application usually involves generating a document or a print set, downloading the file onto a local disk, and then sending it to the selected printing device. Our component allows you not only to send output directly to a local printer but also to pre-define the printer location and type. Therefore, if the application prints product bar codes (for example), it is possible to specify a printer designated for this purpose and then send all print sets to it.
Tools for making queries about data stored in the system. Individual queries can be saved for reuse. A separate application ensures the execution of queries, with pre-defined or dynamically created filters. Query results can be viewed in Allegro, stored in the File Manager, or exported into a file.
A system for recording frequently asked questions and publishing answers. Questions and answers can be entered by the system administrator and viewed for selected applications, but users themselves can ask questions and thus initiate the process of their creation. An allocated consultant is informed by e-mail about a new question. When the answer is provided and sent to the asker, it is also published with all related applications. This tool is available for all license types.
You can simply import data from advance invoices and credit notes, that you previously entered manually, from ISDOC via Allegro File Manager. Loaded documents can also be posted to accounting immediately after saving. With literally one click, you can also create a new register in the Company Adress Book as well.
We have implemented an external system for extracting data from invoice files into Allegro, which we are currently testing. Those interested will be able to try communicating with the WFLOW system.

For customers with an e-shop, it offers effective improvements in the form of the calculation of bonuses and discounts in the supply, if the customer further orders the goods himself via the e-shop. A new module for pricing transport also offers substantial time and calculation savings. Did you know that if you import the carrier's price list into Allegro and make the necessary settings, the program automatically inserts the calculated price for transportation into the document? Those interested in this gadget can contact customer support.
