Pilot is known as an EIS (executive information system) or DSS (decision support system) tool. This is to take tabular data and give it a graphical or pictorial representation for the less "technically adept". It is also commonly used to give periodic updates to the CEO or his direct reports. This is much more distilled than a user reporting tool. There are no capabilities available to the enduser except that which has been programmed in. Received on Sun May 14 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
