Overview of INVESTRAK investment tracking program
Investrak was developed as a small desktop application that will allow the small, medium or large investor to keep track of one's financial status. Updates can be made as often as the user would like. From several times each day, to weekly, monthly or quarterly.

With Investrak, one can monitor and track one investor or thousands. There is no limit to the number of investors and there is no limit to the number of investments it will track. Each user will have a unique password and user name, generated by the user.

The user will be able to input every investment or money vehicle owned. The purchase dates, values, descriptions, and diversification types can be input if they are new or from long term investments. INVESTRAK allows the user to edit the investments with ease if data was input incorrectly. It's easy to input sales of or new purchases of an existing investment. These subtractions and additions will be tracked automatically and can be viewed, printed and saved to a text file in the REPORTS section. See below for the reports available on the REPORTS page.

Individual investments can removed from the account at anytime. These removals will not be deleted, only archived. INVESTRAK allows the user to scroll through the ARCHIVED investments and restore any or all of them at any time. Also these archived investments will be available in the REPORTS section.

There are two types of UPDATES used by INVESTRAK. The first is the updating of individual investments. This is the procedure where the user can scroll through all the active investments and UPDATE their CURRENT VALUES. As each investment is updated, it is automatically saved, and it's status (Profit / Loss) is displayed. The second type of UPDATE is the recalculating of the entire investment account. (Usually done after all the individual accounts have been updated.) The overall update will display the Profit /Loss of the entire account and compare and display the difference with the last overall update. The user will always be given the option of saving the overall UPDATE. These updates can then be accessed by the REPORTS page.

INVESTRAK FUNCTIONS

1.	Tracks unlimited users and investments.

2.	Easily add or delete complete investor accounts.

3.	A simple and easy to use MENU page that allows for quick and easy navigation to any INVESTRAK page.

The ADD INVESTMENTS page where the user can input holdings into the account. Also investments can be archived from this page. This means that investments are not actually deleted, just removed from the active account. Every archived investment can forever be re-instated. So that INVESTRAK can produce REPORTS and track DIVERSIFICATION two fields are controlled by selection boxes. All other fields do not limit the information the user inputs.

The ACCOUNT STATUS page shows the user the total value of the active investments. Allows the user to save a session of updates for use in printed reports. This page also shows the user where the total investment package stands as far as loss or profit. Also after each update, this page shows the increase or decrease in value related to the previous update. It will display the date of the last update and the value on that date.

The BACKUP page always loads when an exit button is pressed. If no data backup is required, simply press the exit button on the BACKUP page and the program will close without backing up the session's updates. When backup is accepted, all the data, as of the last session, will be copied to an alternate database for use if restore is needed. Likewise, if the user wishes to return the data to the previous update, if he feels mistakes in updating were made, or any reason, the alternate database will be transferred to the user. All this is done with just the click of a button but the user will be given several opportunities to stop the process, both in the restore and backup procedure.

The BUY MORE/ SELL SOME page allows the user to scroll through all of the active investments and either add money to it or remove some or all of it's value. This procedure is simple to do and all the adjustments required to track the over all status are done automatically. This procedure is helpful if the user needs to move funds from one account to another. Such as from a Money Market to a mutual fund. The REPORTS section of INVESTRAK will track all these transactions and allow the user to PRINT, SAVE or just VIEW the report.

8.	The DIVERSIFICATION page will display the investor's total account value and how it is diversified by percentage and dollar value. There are 20 categories that can be selected by the user during the ADD INVESTMENTS procedure.

The UPDATE INVESTMENTS page allows the user to scroll through all the active investments, update the current value in each, and then update and save the entire session. The user can edit any item on this page, such as to correct data or information that may have been input incorrectly. Click on the Diversification or Description fields to edit them with the preprogrammed items allowed. The EDIT page will show the list of descriptions that can be used. Just click on the desired item and it will automatically edit. As each investment is scrolled or updated, a window displays the status of that individual investment.

10.

The VIEW UPDATES page will allow the investor to scroll through all the past account updates. Sometimes, more than one update in a single day may have taken place. If the investor does not need or want to have two updates in one day he can delete any or all. These updates are based on the entire user accounts and will show the update date, current value of all the investments in the account, and the status of the investments. These updates are also available to the REPORTS page. They can be viewed, printed and saved to a text file from there.

11.	The RECOVER from ARCHIVE page will allow the user to scroll through all the investments that have been ARCHIVED (removed from the active accounts). Note: ARCHIVED investments are not considered as part of the account status and do not show up in TOTAL VALUES or DIVERSIFICATION pages or REPORTS.

12.	The REPORTS page allows the user to VIEW, PRINT and/or SAVE six (6) different reports that will help the user track his investments.

REPORT ONE ------This report shows all active investments, current values and total value.

REPORT TWO ------This report lists all accounts that are related to retirement, current values and total value.
