ECS has always been an OWNERS system. I am looking for ways to make ECS more of a USERS
system. Currently I am coding an event to allow users to enter their own CID phone numbers
from a keypad without going to the main console. Anyone doing something like this.

I figure that I should be able to append the ASCII string it created by the keypad to
a the CID file, but adding the dash in the xxx-xxxx, and the tag number to the ASCII
string may be a chore.

I hope to relieve myself of having to update CID files. This could be one way to get
the automation system out-of-the-box. ECS-WIN should have some small utilities that
allow users to enter data in some intuitive way. I think the WIFE factor would also
be better if ECS allowed OTHERS to get involved in the system.
