Data Entry areas can be automatically formatted for “Upper/lower case” or just UPPER CASE at the
discretion of the super administrator.
Phone numbers can be set for automatic formatting: e.g. 5036505100 becomes (503) 650-5100.
Show Subset/Omit Subset
When working with selections of records in a list, sometimes it is necessary to reduce the list to view only
highlighted records.
Likewise, sometimes the user would like to eliminate the highlighted records.
“Inactive” Records
Inactive backflow or other records can be automatically filtered so they are not seen.
They can be retrieved for any reason at any time by unchecking the “Inactive Filter” checkbox.
Logos/Letterheads/Signatures
XC2 can store your logo, letterhead and signature images for use on reports, notices and letters.
Multiple Windows
It is possible to open multiple windows at the same time. This is useful if the entry person or
administrator is performing some operations and the phone rings from a person needing information.
The user may open another window to view/edit that person’s information without losing the area that
they were working on.
Backup Scheduling
Backups can be automatically scheduled with either XC2 Stand-Alone or XC2 Server (Multi-User).
XC2 Program Updates
Updates to XC2 are frequent, as we are constantly improving and enhancing XC2 based upon our
customers’ needs and requests for more flexibility, power, ease of use, additional features, reports,
lookup utilities and more. Updates are available on the web and easily found by clicking a menu item

Multiple Water District/System (*Option)
XC2 can handle multiple water systems so that reporting can be done for each system

only those systems can be viewed by a given user.
• One system or multiple systems may be assigned for each user
• Reporting can be done on a single system or multiple systems
