CHAPTER - IINTRODUCTION1.1 ABOUT THE PROJECT Cable Operator Management System is integrated and automation software for cable operators. Cable operators will distribute TV channels to their customers for that they charge some money monthly. Cable Operators once they divided their areas into micro parts then they can assign their staff members to take care about their micro part areas. An extensive study of existing system was carried out. There is an existing system available in branch. The system is run manually. It is difficult to run efficiently by man power, and difficult to respond every user within short period. Thus we came to know the essential need to make it automated To automate entire operations of the Cable Operator to maintain their customers list and collections. In this COM System they can maintain their staff members details and their customer details. By using this COM System they can divide their areas macro parts to micro parts. By using this system they can meet their business requirements. This project having the following forms. Master Transaction Reports moduleMASTERS:The information specified in the Master is regarded static, in the sense that it is Permanent or non-changing or stable. The updates are infrequent and may be regarded as permanently stored in the Database. The Master Group has functionality to View / Change.

The master pages will have access to administrator only.

Area Master - Cable Operators they will divide their areas macro parts to micro parts like huge area will be divided into small areas, divisions. In this module admin will add areas and code numbers. Employee Master - Admin will add the staff and will provide the privileges as per the staff designation. All the staff members cannot access all the modules. He can add or delete the staff accounts. Customer Master - Admin will add the new customers those who come in their areas and take new connection. Admin can add or delete the customers and they can view the entire customers list in area wise. Monthly Charges - Admin will add or modify the monthly charges depends on the areas. Some areas they will charge more and some areas less depends on the channels they provide.

TRANSACTION:Transactions deal with dynamic or transient data. Transactions do not affect the MASTER Data.The TRANSACTION Group of functionality is as follows: Collection Screen - In this module Cable operators will generate the monthly wise collection statement for their particular areas and customer wise. They can generate the date to date collection statements. Staff wise collection statements and area wise statements will generate by using this module. Customer Status Customer can take connection and remove connection due to various reasons at any point of time. Once is disconnected we make him inactive. We can change customer status at any point of time.

REPORTS:In this module we can generate the various MIS Reports to keep track of the revenue, customer statistics area wise, month wise, during the days and year wise etc., 1. Area List2. Employee List3. Customer List4. Collections Area wise5. Total Collections6. Collections between Dates7. Customer A/c8. List of Assets

CHAPTER - IISYSTEM STUDY AND ANALYSIS2.1 PROBLEM DEFINITION To maintain their customers and number of users need automation for this process. They need system for maintain n number of areas and n number of customers. This system should have the employee management and payment collections details. Reports generation and pending payment details should be very easy. SYSTEM STUDY The system is modeled on the real time basis, so that to achieve the functional and performance of the system. The system should ensure no misuse of data. Any unauthorized user will lead to a lot of collaboration and confusion inside the organizations, so that the access rights for different group of employees are allocated by the admin. The system mainly adapted for interaction between groups of users.

2.2 ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTEMAn extensive study of existing system was carried out. There is an existing system available in branch. The system is run manually .It is difficult to run efficiently by man power, and difficult to respond every user within short period. Thus we came to know the essential need to make it automated.DISADVANTAGES At present there is a manual system used to maintain all customer details. It is complicated to manage payment and pending details. We can't work fast in the manually system. In the Manually System do not provide the data security. It is a time Consuming system. Reports Generation is very though.

2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEMTo automate entire operations of the Cable Operator to maintain their customers list and collections. In this system they can maintain their staff members details and their customer details. By using this system they can divide their areas macro parts to micro parts. By using this system they can meet their business requirements. Cable Operators once they divided their areas into micro parts then they can assign their staff members to take care about their micro part areas.By using this system they can know about their equipments located on which areas. They reports were generated for the month of collections, expenses, pending amount, complaints area wise and date wise, month wise.ADVANTAGES In our system very easy to maintain all customer details. It very easily manages the payment and pending details. We can work fast in the system. Here we provide the data security. Less time consuming. Reports Generation is very easy.CHAPTER - III SYSTEM SPECIFICATION3.1 HARDWARE CONFIGURATIONProcessor: Pentium IV 2.0 GHZ Memory: 2 GB DDR3 RAM Hard Disk: 160 GB Monitor: LG 17Mouse: Logitech Keyboard: Logitech Multimedia Printers: Laser Printer 3.2 SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION Operating System : Windows 7 Front End : VB 6.0 Back End : MS ACCESS

3.3 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTIONABOUT VISUAL BASIC 6.0The development platform and software tool were identified as Visual Basic 6.0 (As Front-End) and MS Access (As Back-End) database. Using visual programming, object are manipulated directly and also due to the feature of fast and easy prototyping and GUI building visual basic 6.0 as used.In the system analysis and design part, data is processed using query techniques and study of the existing system.During the development phase various option are developed like master menu. transaction menu, report generation, utility etc.WHY VISUAL BASIC PROGRAMMINGUsing visual programming objects are manipulated directly, By Highlighting; point and clicking specific properties can relate to physical appearance (color, shading, fonts, size and so on). We have selected one of the most widely used object oriented, graphical programming language for window development Visual Basic.

Selection of visual basic based on following strengths: Fast and easy prototyping and GUI building. Fully functional, real window application building. Excellent DDE and DDL support and client OLE. MDI support. Easy Dialog Box Construction. Easy Menu Generation supporting Short cut key.INTRODUCTION OF VISUAL BASIC VISUAL BASIC EDITIONS:Visual Basic is available in three versions, each generate to meet a specific set of development requirement. The visual basic learning edition. The professional edition. The enterprise edition.

VISUAL BASIC AND DATABASEVisual Basic can be used to build very complex application. Visual Basic effective software that can perform all essential management function. It can be used to: Create data table and store data in them. Edit data records. Retrieve data selectively from stored records to provide specific information. Prepare printed information retrieval reports. Perform calculation. Create screens that can interact with users.Visual Basic provides a wide verity of data access alternatives, for working with local and remote database, including enterprise level three-tiered client/server application.

INTRODUCTION TO MS ACCESS :DATABASE : WHAT THEY ARE? AND HOW THEY WORK?A database is collection of information related to particular or purpose such as tracking customer orders or maintaining a music collection. If your database isnt stored on a computer or only parts of it are, you may be tracking information from variety of source that you have to coordinate and organize yourself.Using it, you can manage all our information from single database file. Within file divide your data using into separate storage containers called tables; view, add, and update table data using forms; find and retrieve just the data you want using queries and analyze or print data in specific layout using reports.To find and retrieve just data that meet condition you specify including data from multiple tables create a query. A query can also update multiple records at the same time and perform built-in or custom calculations on your data. To easily view, enter and change directly in a table, create a form. When you open a form, it retrieves the data from one or more tables and display it on screen using the data from you chose in the form using a layout that you created from scratch.To analyze your data present it a certain way in print, create a report. For example, you might print one report that raw material and calculates totals.

TABLES :A tables is a collection of data about a specific topic, such as products or suppliers. Using as separate table for each topic means you store that data only once which makes your database more efficient and reduces data entry errors. Table organize data into columns and rows.In table datasheet view, you can add, edit or view the data in a table. You can also check the spelling and print your tables data filter or sort records change the datasheets appearance or change the tables structure by adding or deleting columns. You can create an entire table from scratch, or add, delete, or customize an existing tables fields.

QUERIES:You use queries to view, change and analyze data in different ways. You can also use them as the source of records for forms and report. The most common type of query is a select query. A select query retrieves data from one or more tables using criteria you specify and then display it in the order you want.

ADVANTAGES OF MS ACCESS More Reliable than other RDBMS. Easy to use and learn. Data security is high. Updating database. Support ODBC , ADO data programming objects.
