Clients shouldn't have to find workarounds to these "limitations." The list of improvements are mostly minor things that enhances the user experience, but the little things matter just as much as the big things because the user encounters the little things over and over again interacting with the program so it is a constant reminder of the pain of working with PMAPS. However, I can prove that it can be done and actually do it on my end by apply my own CSS file to the page. It is simply a change to the CSS file, but PMAPS claims this is too diffcult to do and can't be done. For example, setting certain fields with a different color or showing more than 3 lines in a multi-select field is not difficult. Also, while PMAPS is customizable in certain areas, in other areas, it is not, which can be frustrating. The basic structure is built, but it is not thought through thoroughly and the end result is a feature that doesn't work as expected. So Compliance Central just gets bigger and bigger and becomes essentially useless. When the Q&A is updated, only one instance is removed from Compliance Central. The problem is that the same Q&A can be added to Compliance Central many times, so then there are mutliple instances of the same Q&A. For example, when Q&A's expire and are sent out to be updated, they are added to Compliance Central, which is fine. Though it may take a while to see the improvements, if at all.Ĭons: A lot of the workflows, functions and features of PMAPS have not been very well thought out. PSI is receptive to change and input from clients to improve. There are lots of features in the program and most are good, but unfortunately, not quite there yet.
Pros: The basic functionality of PMAPS works well and does increase efficiency. PMAPS is good overall, but there is room for improvement There is no `file tab in Word or Excel when working from the PMAPS cloud.
PMAPS ROCKETDOCS OFFLINE
If you want to change certain advance settings on Word, you have to close out of Word on their cloud, open Word offline and make the change, then re-open Word on PMAPS to have it integrated. When using PMAPS, you don't have the complete functionality of Word or Excel in their cloud system.
I think Word works very well, but I've had enough struggles over the year that I just use Excel completely offline from PMAPS.
Overwriting Excel save files or inserting PMAPS records into Excel files frequently does not work or bugs out. I've struggled to use Excel well with PMAPS. The saving process on PMAPS can be a little slow (relative to offline in word/excel), so a background frequent autosave would be a really nice feature. You have to make sure to manually save every so often as you will most likely experience the program closing on you unexpectedly at least once if you use PMAPS prolongedly. When working on PMAPS cloud version of Excel of Microsoft Word, there is no autosave feature, and it's not uncommon for the program to run into errors and forcibly shutdown. I've found in using it these past few years that it makes the job far easier.
PMAPS ROCKETDOCS UPDATE
I use the PMAPS software as a way to store, retrieve, and update thousands of individual records. This work with both qualitative and quantitative updates and is a huge time-saver. The ability to link word documents to PMAPS makes it quick and painless to update documents through the re-link function.
This function is immensely helpful on ensuring answers used have been updated or at least recently reviewed. The last feature is especially helpful as the database will automatically change the highlight on the PMAPS dashboard for any record that has reached the creator's expiration date. Under each uploading record, there are options to maintain notes, input the personnel responsible for uploading and/or reviewing the record, and options to put dates on when records become outdated. This lets one customize how they want to tag and tier their information to make searching through thousands of records seamless. When uploading information, there are several different customizable categories that the user can use to sort information. The software provides an excellent conduit to organize information.
