More of an upgrade to the old SMS than a new programme
Programme is user-friendly
Clear font, and face easy on the eyes.
Menu can either cascade on the left hand side or top – arrow button at the far right hand.
With the old SMS, used only old internet explorer version refusing to access the latest versions unless one had to click on compatibility - Indicium can be accessed with latest versions.
People with Apple laptop can also access Indicium, previously not possible with SMS
Developers are still configuring for access on Ipads and tablets.
Save button (new function) instead of enter from the old SMS.
Create, Edit and Remove functions – pop out box to verify if you want to execute the function.
Gives instructions on required fields and blocks you from continuing if the fields are not field up.
Automatically creates large or small forms depending on the number of employees.
For the SETA staff – integration with other programmes.
Making it easy for interseta transfers – used to be done manually.
Problems experienced –
Logging in.
