The KKFU ICO System
A special Application has been developed for use by field-officers. It shows the specific parts of the KKSys database which are of use for these staff.
The following help document outlines the general functionality and use of this Orixa App.
Remember that the App accesses the KKSys database, and so all data entered is managed and merged into the central database.
This means that care should be taken when entering and editing data to ensure all data entered is accurate and correct.

The ICO system is installed onto a laptop like all other Orixa Apps. The database should be installed first, and then the "ICO System" executable file copied onto the laptop. Registry setting for KKSys must also be added to the laptop to ensure that the system works correctly.

Rapid Entry Grids
ICO Rapid Entry Grids |
KKSys includes "Rapid Entry Grid" systems which allow users to add data rapidly. The ICO System gives access to some of these. Pick one from the list (1.) and click the "View REG" button.
For example an ICO officer may want to enter large numbers of "farmerDelivery" records, reusing the same "WayBill" or "DPRSerial Number". The ICO System allows the officers to access these systems that speed up regular data entry.

- Click "View REG"
- Complete the data fields which will be duplicated for each record.

Installing KKICOSys
Follow the same steps as for KKSys, but in place of KKSys.exe, use KKCICOSys.exe. The image below shows the files required. Note that some "DLL" files are only required on computers with older Windows operating systems to provide functionality which is present in newer versions of WIndows.
Try to install without these DLLs and in case of errors at start up such as "library file not found", add these DLLs.
The "WebView2Loader_x64.dll" is used by the mapping system, and is required for this part of the system to work.
