Release Notes

Version 1.2

New Features
An Add-In system was integrated, which allows to easily extent elementec::km with add-in modules. Using the Configurator add-in modules can be activated and deactivated.
A new function allows the creation of so-called data packages from the records of any table. Data packages can be used to move data to another database. The function optionally includes connected records. When importing, the method of synchronization can be selected. Using this function, it is possible to move e.g. complete check lists, reports or manual definitions between databases.
For hierarchically structured data, the component structure is only displayed, when components exist. In the left upper corner of the record area, a button has been added which toggles the structure display.
Reports can now be grouped by the column 'Table'.
When creating an new report, the report name and title fields are now automatically set after the table selection.
Fixes
When creating an e-mail with Outlook as standard client, an error message was displayed.
In manuals with reports, possibly a page break was inserted after the title page.
Pressing F1 did not open the online help.
After editing a MySQL database in the Configurator, subsequent logins would fail.
Manuals with multi-line variables on title pages would not be properly generated.
During program installation, license number which had been changed using the Configurator were not properly respected.

Under 'Documents' in the 'Library' area, arbitrary files can bow be stored directly in the database. Files are automatically compressed, if suitable.
A new tool 'Edit Document' was added to the table 'Documents'. This allows opening a document in the corresponding application for editing. For this to be done, it makes no difference, whether the document was stored in the database or only linked.
In manuals, entries from the table 'Documents' can be added as attachments in the tab 'Attachments'.
Documents, linked to records, can now be automatically added as attachments. This functionality is facilitated by a new field 'Attachment' in the field selection window. When using this field, the corresponding document is added to the attachments and a reference is created.
Windows 2000, XP: All printable attachments can be displayed in the print preview. This requires the installation of the printer driver 'elementec Print System'.
Windows 2000, XP: All printable attachments can be integrated in the generated PDF file, if the printer driver 'elementec Print System' was installed.
Graphic files (BMP, PCX, JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF), which are linked as documents, are automatically scaled to the paper format during generation or printing and rotated if necessary.
When printing a report or manual, attachments can be printed as well, if they have not been included in the print preview.
The context menu for records (right mouse button in the selection column of tables) now contains the function 'Cancel Modifications'.
In records with hierarchical structure, the edit mode is now displayed (pencil icon).
In records with hierarchical structure, the menu items 'Save Record' and 'Cancel Modifications' were added to the context menu in tree structure.

In the file menu the submenu 'Maintenance' was added to the menu 'Database' for the 'ADMIN' user. In this submenu, the menu items 'Delete All Record Locks' and 'Delete All Sessions' can be found. These functions are only needed, if invalid database entries were left after an irregular program termination.
The mouse wheels are now supported in tables. Use Shift + wheel to scroll horizontally. Use Ctrl + wheel to zoom in or out.
In reports for hierarchical data, there is a new option on the card 'Settings' which allows to set the scope of the report to all records or only the top-level records of the hierarchy.
It is now possible to define a selection criterion for the import of text files. Hence, the import data can be filtered before being imported.

If the membershipof a record changes due to modifications, the corresponding group is opened after storing and teh record is displayed. The menu item 'Update groups' is still needed, if the order if the group changes, e.g. due to reordering of the option field entries.
The documentation was reworked with respect to content and layout
