MACS Management Inquiry Module

Management Inquiry provided instantaneous on-screen sales and commission information. Management Inquiry module of MACS uses a unique method of presenting information on the screen using split-screens, graphics, and a simple, logical progression:

  • The screens begin with summary totals for the entire agency and a set of secondary subtotals.
  • Selection of one of the subtotals moves to the next level where that subtotal is displayed with its appropriate subtotals.
  • This process continues, moving up or down one level of detail. At any time, the current selection may be exploded to display detailed data.

Below is a simple progression of Management Inquiry screens showing how information can be retrieved.


Totals are displayed for each line the agency represents. Additional data for a manufacturer will be displayed by merely selecting a row number, such as row 5. Click on row 5 below to follow the progression to the next screen.
