Dynamic SQL statements are built using all the request information. They also have the option to save the query. Consider the needs of a new administrative assistant who needs to know how to submit a bi-weekly payroll request, or an experienced manager needing to check on the purchasing spending limits. Blink is envisioned as a campus business portal that provides rapid access to the information most often sought by departmental staff.

The past experiment registration system was mostly a paper process with a small database for basic reporting. This made the system very time consuming and difficult for information sharing with the researchers, faculty, and students. To address these concerns, a Web-based system was created that allows students to view available experiments and select or change the time slot for experiments in which they wish to be a participant. Researchers have the ability to view a list of persons that have signed up as participants, create additional time slots for experiments, and to set the participation status and credit earned for each participant in the experiment. We have also added two features to our Web Gradebook.
