Fast Path Processing allows experienced users to enter collection activities using coded values. The format and order of the information are the same as the activity entry in CACS Enterprise; the user only needs to fill in the appropriate information, select the appropriate push-button, and continue on to the next account. When in work list mode, the Fast Path may be placed below the main account view window after initial launch; then when the user goes to the next account, the Fast Path remains in position and ready to enter an activity on the next account. When the Fast Path is present, the user may select the available tabs on the interface to view and update data. To move the cursor to the next/prior field in the Fast Path dialog, the user must press the forward tab/backward tab key, as the cursor is not moved forward/backward automatically.
The Fast Path Processing functionality does not include:
DPA Calculator Function – This function is available in the Action Dialog only.
Assign User ID – For users with the required capability level, this function is available in the Action Dialog only.
Correspondence/Transaction Menu – The user must enter a valid Transaction Definition ID, if desired.
The user launches the Fast Path Processing dialog by selecting the Fast Path push-button from the Account View Menu Tool bar. The CACS Enterprise Browser displays the dialog box. The dialog stays in the foreground for all accounts the user works until the user:
Ends the CACS Enterprise Browser session
Selects the “X” in the upper right-hand corner of the dialog
Selects the Cancel push-button
When the user performs any of the above actions, the dialog box is closed. The dialog is not automatically displayed again for any account until the user re-selects Fast Path from the tool bar.
