In the lower left corner there is a "Start" button, which opens access to most of the settings and functionality of the system. On the right side there is a block with clocks, information about the current user and organization.

The main part of the interface of the BARS system is similar to the desktop, on which there are shortcuts for quick launch of frequently used tasks.

Most of the data in the program is presented in the form of spreadsheets, and they are filled accordingly.

For some forms of tasks, the structure of the hierarchical placement of elements is used.

Using and working with data

For frequently used data, there is a set of directories in the system. Some of them are static and can not be edited. Others can be changed according to the current settings or settings. For example, there are such directories:

• Types of extracurricular activities;
• inventory;
• Appointing offices;
• specialty;
• Types of estimates.

In order to fill the directory, you need to select it. To do this, go to the "Start" menu, find "Directories" in it and click, for example, "Inventory".

Addition of new items occurs by clicking the "Add" button. A pop-up window opens where you must enter data into all the empty fields.

Similarly, all the reference books in the "BARS.Education" system are filled in.

Additional Functionality

The system of normative documents is collected in the system. For example, you can view, download and print various government orders and laws.

The message system allows you to send data to all users of the network or to individual participants. Working with this functionality is very similar to working with regular e-mail, so it should not cause problems.

Pupils and parents

The interface for users with the types "Student" and "Parent" is different from the administrator. At the entrance there will be a friendly panel with a set of convenient and accessible tools.

The first thing that catches your eye is Diary. It is divided into days, each of which has a list of items. After the training day, they contain information about the topic of the lesson, homework, whether the child attended this lesson and the evaluation received on it.

Tab "Schedule" in a convenient form shows a list of items for each day of the week.

Technical information about the systems

The main part of the software is written in C #. Used database management system - MongoDB. However, the complex itself is compatible with most known DBMS.

Architecture is divided into three main links:

• The client's workplace, a kind of terminal that provides access to data;
• Application server;
• The database server is, in fact, the main element in the hierarchy, which stores the entire amount of working information.

Conclusion

Domestic software systems of BARS systems show excellent functionality. Convenience and simplicity of the interface allow the system to be used by ordinary employees. Delineation of access rights in some products guarantees the safety of data and their accuracy, since each user operates only with information that is sufficient for his powers.

In general, the presence of a domestic product is encouraging, since information technology in Russia lags far behind the world leaders. It remains to be hoped that the platform will develop and remain in demand.
