DataSight™ Enterprise Introduction
- DataSight Enterprise is a powerful database management system for managing all your natural resource data. It is a client-server desktop application designed to operate across low-bandwidth wide area networks, such as the Internet and it’s configuration allows authorised users to enter data from multiple locations and organisations.
- DataSight Enterprise can consolidate disparate datasets from legacy databases, spreadsheets, and existing data files in your organisation into the one management system. It is a robust database management system, which utilises Microsoft SQL Server's database capabilities, allowing fast and effective database connections with native OLE-DB type connections for SQL server communication.
- DataSight Enterprise is intuitive, flexible, robust, and requires only a short learning curve which allows the user to focus on the management and review of the data set rather than the software itself. It provides systematic storage and access to your organisations comprehensive environmental dataset through a single data management system.

Multi-user Database
DataSight allows multiple user access to databases including unlimited concurrent users. Share your database with other DataSight users simultaneously through computers connected to a network.
Database Mail (SQL Server)
Database Mail allows e-mail messages to be sent from the SQL Server Database Engine. Using Database Mail, DataSight databases can send e-mail messages to users. These messages can contain query results, and can also include DataSight files.
Remote Connection (DS Web)
DSWeb is a .NET application for disseminating data across the internet. It provides access to your database/s where users can graph or produce a spread sheet but cannot modify the data set. DSWeb is easily linked to your DataSight database, where your organisation can distribute data in a secure manner either across an Intranet or the Internet. DSWeb is compatible with the major web browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, and is accessible via iPhone.
Import/Export Data between Databases and Applications
Integrate, manage and process your data in one database. DataSight has several data import and export options, allowing users to easily share data with colleagues and clients. Datasheets can be exported into several different file formats with one click and DataSight’s import tool allows the quick consolidation of legacy databases, spreadsheets, and existing data files into one functional database.
Scientific Standards
Scientific Standards in DataSight can be used to check and control data entered against specified Scientific Standards. Standards entered into DataSight can be used for data analysis, checking data while importing and for creating tabular reports for specific variables within a database.
Conversion Tool
DataSight includes a versatile free-hand conversion tool for the manipulation and calculation of your data. The Conversion tool is extremely flexible and powerful, allowing the user to use look up tables, free hand formulas, and off-set adjustments in proportion to time for both absolute and percentage changes to data.
Regression Tool
Carry out statistical analysis, develop rating tables, inspect gaugings and analyse data with over 290 regression models with DataSight’ s easy-to-use regression tool.
Data Filtering for Customisable Views
The flexible filter tool allows users to query large datasets, selecting a single filter or a number of filters to isolate a subset of data and display it both graphically and in table format.
Tabular Reports
DataSight comes with a variety of reports to extract and view your data either graphically or in a tabular format, including Annual, Monthly and Daily Reports, Special Meteorological Reports and Tabular Summary reports. These allow users to create the following (and more):

Use DataSight’s built-in Report Creator to design custom layouts and reports. Report Creator is also a report management tool, enabling you to share your reports and templates with other users.
Manual Data Entry (MDE)
No fuss data entry with the Manual Data Entry tool. Simply select the monitoring location, date and time and enter the data. MDE forms can be created to replicate your field datasheets so data can be keyed in quickly.
Gauging Calculator
DataSight’s Gauging tool is a discharge calculator and flow measurement reporting solution for storing all your channel, stream and river gauging data. The intuitive interface allows simple gauging data entry for all gaugings completed in the field and one-click reporting for site analysis.
Plug-In Capability
Plug-Ins enable third parties to develop their own applications that access the data within DataSight. Mannings Conversion and Automatic Import are example plug-ins created for general use with DataSight’s SDK.
Graphical Profiling
DataSight’s excellent graphing tool makes presentation of your data a breeze. View years of data quickly by simply dragging and dropping variables onto the graphing window. Users can easily create, customise, save & export graphs with a few clicks.
Audit Trail
DataSight’s Audity Trail is an incorporated solution for monitoring and recording changes to databases, such as when data has been imported or modified or when data has been deleted by a user. The Audit Trail tracks and displays who has accessed and edited data, from which computer system, and what operations the user has performed at that time. It is a monitoring solution for your database which also provides a solution for the recovery of deleted data.
Scheduler
DataSight has a facility for automated report generation using saved graphs, datasheets and reports. The output can be in a pdf, rtf, html, jpg or Excel format. Reports can also be regenerated periodically, such as the creation of a daily or weekly report containing the most recent data.
Control Documents
Manage files, attachments and essential database information within your database with Control Documents.
