Product Features

You've invested significant time and effort for the members of your union local.  RailTrak 2000 can help you streamline and organize your work saving you time and effort, while at the same time serving your members better and providing them with the information they want.

Below are many of the features that you will find in RailTrak 2000.


 Easy to use data entry forms:  All information that the user enters into RailTrak 2000 is enter into easy to use screens.  These screens, or forms, have fields which prompt the user for the correct entry.  Many fields include drop down lists with items to choose from.  RailTrak 2000 works just like Intuit's Quicken financial programs, which means that RailTrak 2000 will often complete an entry for the user automatically. 

 Quick access to current information regarding appeals:  Quick reports can be viewed from the main screen of RailTrak 2000.  These reports show:

  • Claims to process
  • Claims in local conference
  • Claims under local appeal
  • Claims forwarded to General Committee
  • Claims waiting to be paid

The RailTrak user can also print or view comprehensive claim status reports which can be printed for the membership to view.  Individual claim status reports for each member are easily generated.

A comprehensive search page assists the user in finding older claim records.  It is also very easy to view any and all letters written by groups of individuals or even to a specific person.  

 All records kept in one file:  Because RailTrak 2000 is a relational database, all records are kept in one file.  That means that there is only one file to protect and back up.  RailTrak 2000 does all the work of keeping track of internal records, so that the user never has to worry about where a letter or other document in RailTrak 2000 is saved.  RailTrak 2000 is a split database.

  • Data file is in a separate folder by itself.
  • Program file and screen images are in their own folders.
  • Supporting documents are in a separate support folder that RailTrak 2000 can link to.

These features make RailTrak 2000 fast and dependable.

 Easily generate polished letters:  One of the nicest features of RailTrak 2000 is it's ability to quickly generate polished letters for the user.  RailTrak 2000 gathers all information needed to generate a letter document from the database records and assembles this information to generate letters which can be:

  • Appeal letters
  • Letters to any individual member or all members
  • Letters to any carrier or union officer
  • Letter to any other individual

These letters can be viewed or printed directly from any Claim Entry or Write Letter screen.  The user has a variety of choices for a letter format which is set in the User Preferences screen.

Quick access to current member information:  RailTrak 2000 allows the user to quickly bring up member records to view or edit.  Various pop up screens are available for extra quick access to key member information.

  • View member lists
  • View seniority lists
  • Print handy membership printout in a handy spreadsheet format
  • View any member's outstanding claim activity
  • View all letters written to a particular member

 RailTrak 2000 will retrieve supporting documents.

  • RailTrak 2000 automatically creates a link to any supporting documents for each claim record processed.
  • This link is to a default folder on drive C, however the user can specify any other drive location as the default location (such as a removable drive like a zip disk).
  • The user can scan documents and save them to the default drive location using the file number of the associated claim record.  RailTrak 2000 will link to those documents and open them when the user double clicks on the supporting document field.

 RailTrak 2000 will automatically print envelopes and mailing labels.

  • Envelope can be automatically printed just by selecting the envelope button in any Write Letter screen or Member screen.
  • Mailing labels can be generated for your membership, Carrier Officers, General Committee Officers, or your own return address label - all automatic - just choose which one you want.

 Save existing arguments (positions) and statement of facts.

  • RailTrak 2000 can save and then make available for re-use any position statement for a particular type of claim that the user chooses.
  • RailTrak 2000 will also save any statement of facts for later use with the click of a mouse.  
  • Both of these features intelligently link to the particular type of claim that they were originally saved with - helping the user quickly access those statements to use time and time again.

 Send automatic email notification of claim process to claimant.

  • The user can tell RailTrak 2000 to automatically notify any claimant with an email address entered into the program of a claim that has been recorded for processing.
  • The user can alternatively tell RailTrak 2000 not to do this, but still choose to send that same email notification when ever he or she wishes.

 Upgrades are free and easy to do

  • There is never any additional charges to a registered user to upgrade the existing program to the latest release.
  • RailTrak 2000 is designed to make upgrades simple and seamless.
  • All upgrades are available as a simple download and install
  • Upgrades on a CD Rom via mail are available.

 RailTrak 2000 can post reports to the Internet

  • RailTrak 2000 will allow the user to use a program such as Adobe Acrobat 4.0 to publish reports to the user's or local committee's web site for members to view.  This allows members to better understand the appeals process.

 New Batch Print Feature

  • RailTrak 2000 has a new ability to print a batch of appeal documents from several different screens.  By selecting any number of claim records from a screen listing these records, RailTrak 2000 will automatically date each of those records, print the appeal documents, and print a corresponding cover letter, as well as updating the status of the claim to either "Local Appeal" or "Local Conference".

 Keep track of your Union related expenses

  • RailTrak 2000 includes screens to allow the user to enter and keep track of expense records that one accumulates.  The user can then generate expense reports that are useful for reimbursement or tax filing.  Both reports by category or a comprehensive report can be generated.

 Sample Database

  • This version of RailTrak 2000 now includes sample records.  
  • You simply log in to the program as the author.  
  • Doing so allows you to browse through a variety of existing records which gives you a feel for how the program should work. 
  • This also gives you a great area to practice.  Any records that you begin or modify are only going to show up in the sample database and will not interfere with your own records.
  • New users also need to log in as the author in order to allow the importing of their user setup information.
