PowerVista RollCall is divided into four main areas: New Records, Maintain Information, Tasks and Support. 

The process of adding records and updating records is separated into different windows. New Records windows are wizards that streamline the process of adding new Students, Classes, Merchandise, Events and Invoices. Maintenance windows are used to update existing records. These windows can also be used to execute common tasks, such as registering for a Class. The Tasks windows are used to simplify normal processes, such as Event Registration. The Support area is used to maintain global and supporting information. The Navigation panel (the shortcut bar window docked to the right of the task window) provides a shortcut to the main RollCall windows. 

The Administration window is used to maintain global information about RollCall preferences and the business's setup. RollCall is designed to support a wide range of education businesses, and to have the ability to adapt to each organization in many different ways. One way is by customizing text values, another is by customizing window display for the selections in the Processing Options tab. See Customized Windows for an example.
