  • control either by mouse or keyboard

Multilingualism

  • the complete interface - including masks, help, messages and catalogues - can be maintained in multiple languages
  • multilingualism for all language-relevant data

  • efficient translation into new languages through web-based tool provided by AHP
  • choice of language for analyses and reports independent of interface
