1. INTRODUCTION
In Ministry different type of Daks/Letters come to the different Sections. These aregenerally classified as Dak(ordinary), Confidential Dak, File Movement, Secret Dakand VIP References. Whenever any Dak/Letter arrives, first it is identified for its
type. After identification it is noted in the corresponding register. A serial numberis maintained for each type of Dak/Diary which is referred to as Diary Number. Foreach type, separate sequences of Diary Numbers are maintained. This system ofmaintaining the daks is referred to as Dak Monitoring System.
The information maintained in diary monitoring are, the type of diary, diary no,diary date, letter no, letter date, sender information, subject, to be put on date,remarks. In many a cases the Dak is forwarded to some officer or Section and thisforwarding occurs many times on a single Dak. These forwarding information isalso maintained in the register.
Drawbacks of the Manual System
1. Maintenance of voluminous registers.2. It becomes a tedious task to find the answer of any query. It takes much
time.3. Compilation of query on a particular condition becomes difficult.
Computerised Dak Monitoring System
In the Ministry of Water Resources, one computer-based system was in use. Thissystem even though could overcome the difficulties of the manual system, but hadthe following drawbacks.
1. It was terminal & text based.
2. Efficient tracking of the daks was not possible.3. Back-up provision was not available.
Windows based Dak Monitoring System
The Windows based system has removed the disadvantages of the previouscomputerised system and new features have also been incorporated for the userbenefit. Features of the Windows based system can be summarized as below:
It is a much easy to use system based on the Graphical User Interface. It maintains all the information about Diary as it is done in the manual
procedure. Repeated entry of information has been eliminated. Maintaining volumes of registers can be done away with.
The system facilitates faster searching based on different parameters in theDiary, in different combinations.
The system generates reports in pre-defined formats.
It also facilitates the user to create diary for a new born year, without muchassistance from the developer.
This system meets the requirements of Higher Level Officers/Section of Ministry ofWater Resources, to a large extent.

2. PRODUCT FEATURES
This single user system facilitates building up a sound database in respect of Dakinformation; whatever is received/sent. The system has menu driven interfaces.
Various validation checks are provided for making a good database as well as for
other purpose. It provides the visualization of data in different format on thescreen and for printing purpose. A GUI based Query Screen has been designed inwhich dynamic query can be done on all available fields in database. The result ofthese queries is displayed in List View (Row and Column view), in which anyonecan perform the operations (Sort Ascending, Sort Descending and Find) on anycolumn. It also includes some specific queries used for analysis purpose. Theoutput (data) on this screen can also be seen/print in predefined format, which isprovided by the Ministry. An easy interface is available for data backup, theprocedure of which is just like saving of an ordinary file in Windows operatingsystem. Some features are described here.
Input ScreenThe input screen has been designed in such a way that the user makes minimumuse of the keyboard - only for very vital information. Information like DiaryNumber and Diary date are automatically provided by the system.

Retrieval & Forwarding
Any dak can be retrieved easily whether it is for forwarding or query, by providingthe Diary number and Type. Separate sequences of diary numbers are beingmaintained for every classification of the daks. The system shows the traversalpath of any dak, which is being retrieved for forwarding. Multiple forwarding of a
particular dak can also be done.Span
This is a feature for browsing through all the entries in the whole system. Theentries can be browsed starting from Diary type through a particular month, andthen through the dates in a chosen month. This feature can be utilized when thereis a query where no proper key is available. Information in Span can be sorted ineither in ascending or descending order. Searching feature has also beenincorporated. This is a special future wherein any dak can be accessed with bareminimum information about the dak. Using this option one can search through thewhole data or filtered data by choosing the various options displayed in the left
portion of the window (which is similar to a Windows Explorer).Query
Query has been built around almost all the parameters of the Diary. Queryconditions give the users the results in minimum time. Query results can be easilysorted either in descending or ascending order. Searching feature has also beenincorporated.
Backup
Dak data being vital, a backup routine has been built into the system. With thisoption the user, without any assistance, can take regular back-ups of the data.
Security
The information like the Sender, Diary Type, Diary Date, Diary No., and Subjectetc., once entered cannot be changed at any point of time. No entry can beremoved/deleted. Any entry of dak once entered into the system can be editedonly for the purpose of forwarding, entering remarks and to-be-put-on date andnothing else.

(This Option will work only when the required two ODBC defined in ANNEXE-A hasbeen created).
The type of Dak has to be chosen from the Type option. The report is printed forentries between any two dates. For a report for a single day, both the dates needto be the same.
In the From & To entries a default date, generally the current date as defined inthe system is displayed. The user can change these dates by clicking on the downbutton and choose any desired date or by keying in. A small TICK mark is found
just on the top left of the date entries. If the tick mark is present, it indicates thedisplayed/chosen date is enabled/activated. This rule applies both to From & Toentries.
If the user chooses the desired dates, and if he/she fails to click the TICK mark onthe top-left-corner of the date, the chosen date doesnt hold any relevance. If theuser wants the report for a particular Dak to contain all the entries from thebeginning to the last entry, irrespective of the dates displayed in the From & To
columns, the user can simply remove the TICK marks. This will instruct the systemto print all the entries pertaining to the chosen dak type.
To see the report on the screen, click on the SHOW REPORT button.
5.7. Backup
The backup module helps the user to have a regular backup of the entries madeto the Dak monitoring system. This is very much helpful to restore the entries incase of a system failure. If the user doesnt have a regular back, the valuableentries are lost and there is no way to retrieve the entered information.
Clicking on the BACKUP will bring up a screen as follows. The user can choosethe directory (by clicking on the downward button in Save in) and name (type thename in the File name box) in which the backup is to be made and then click onSAVE. The system issues the necessary warnings if the user goes wrongsomewhere. Once the backup procedure is over, the system terminates. The userhas to start the system all over once again.

The user will have to provide the exact database name in which the required datais stored, and the location of the database. Before activating this option, the usershould have this information in advance. Changes will take place in the chosendatabase only and the current years information is not disturbed.
Locate the database and click Open and continue to work with the selectedprevious years database.
5.10. Creating diary for new year
A new diary is created only when a new year is born. During this process, thesystem asks a series of questions, because creation of a New Year Diary erasesthe current years data. It is mandatory for the user to take backup of the currentyears data (preferably more than one copy). The system helps the user to takethe backup if the user has not done the same until entering the creating a diaryfor New Year option. The creation process is secured by a privilege id andpassword. If the user enters the correct information, the concerned Section name
and the year for which the diary needs to be created is input to the system. Evenif the user has taken a backup, the system creates one another backup as a safetymeasure. Finally a diary for the New Year gets created, and the system getsterminated. The user need to start the system once again. Hereafter the diarymonitoring system works on the newly created diary.

5.11. Master List
This option is used to create a database of all the intended recipients and sendersof the daks. Clicking onADD button in Designation/Organization screen facilitatesaddition of Designation/Organization. After adding any new designation the userneed to click on REFRESH button, so that the entered designation appears in the
window, in sequence. Even though DELETE option is provided, the user isrequested to use this option with much care. Any designation, which is already inuse by any dak, cannot be deleted. The system gives a warning message if theuser intends to do so. The REFRESH button is clicked to refresh the screen, sothat the new additions appear in sequence within the window. It is to be notedthat three entries are compulsory. They are INDIVIDUAL, OTHERS and MYSELFand deletion these three is not possible. Apart from these the user can keepadding entries at any point of time.
5.12. Tips for effective utility of the system
1. Always check whether the date shown by the machine is proper.
2. Check the Title bar of the application, to see if the system displays thecorrect database.
3. Take regular backup of the work using BACKUP option. During backups,avoid creating backup files in the folder in which the system is installed. Itis advised to create Personal Folders and have the backup stored in them.
Also it is suggested to maintain manually the name of the files and thelocations for the backups taken.
4. Maintain the Master List properly. It is suggested that all the relevantDesignation/Organization may be entered in advance and the list be given aproper shape, so that frequent additions to the list is not during the
Recording of a new diary.5. Take utmost care during deletion from the Master List.6. Maximum caution to be taken during creation of a new diary for a new
year.7. Do not try to insert dak entries in-between any two dates. Since,
dak is a continuous system insertion is not possible.8. If backlog arises, start entering from the least date to the latest
date (i.e. from the start of the backlog towards the end). The DiaryMonitoring System displays the Diary date from the last entrymade in the system. This will help you out in finding out if anyentry has been left out.
