Release Notes
Version 1.4
New Features
 |
An arbitrary number of functions can now be assigned to a person. |
 |
The option field 'Category' was added to functions. This allows differentiating between types of functions. |
 |
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 records with hierarchical structure, components can now be copied using the context menu. |
 |
When displaying an executable plan or block in the execution environment, the corresponding record can now be displayed by clicking the link icon in the title bar. |
 |
When displaying an executable plan or block in the execution environment, the corresponding procedure and status records can now be displayed by clicking the link icon or the execution icon, respectively. |
 |
During the output of multi-line texts and notes in reports, carriage returns at the end of the text are ignored. |
 |
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. |
 |
Enterprise: For each record, the status bar can display the date and user of the last record modification. This function can be activated in the options dialog (File-Options-Logging). |
 |
Enterprise: The table 'Log' was added under 'Administration'. The Log-table lists all record modifications as well as certain events. In the dialog File-Options-Log-Archive, the behavior of the logging function can be specified. |
 |
Enterprise: Under 'Documents' in the 'Library' area, arbitrary files can bow be stored directly in the database. Files are automatically compressed, if suitable. |
 |
Enterprise: 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. |
 |
Enterprise: In manuals, entries from the table 'Documents' can be added as attachments in the tab 'Attachments'. |
 |
Enterprise: 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. |
 |
Enterprise (Windows 2000, XP): All printable attachments can be displayed in the print preview. This requires the installation of the printer driver 'elementec Print System'. |
 |
Enterprise (Windows 2000, XP): All printable attachments can be integrated in the generated PDF file, if the printer driver 'elementec Print System' was installed. |
 |
Enterprise: 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. |
 |
Enterprise: When printing a report or manual, attachments can be printed as well, if they have not been included in the print preview. |
 |
The documentation was reworked with respect to content and layout |
Fixes
 |
When moving activities in complex plan structures, the user interface could lock up. |
 |
After editing a text on an activity connector, the size of the text frame was not always correctly adapted. |
 |
When the 'Esc' key was pressed while editing a connector text in a plan structure, the user interface would lock up. |
 |
When moving activities abnormal program terminations could occur. |
 |
When generating reports that included multi-line texts or notes with carriage returns at the end of the text, the report was sometimes not correctly rendered and a warning message was displayed. |
 |
After releasing plans, the sorting in 'Executable Plans' was not correctly maintained. |
 |
The deletion of an area in the layout of a report could cause abnormal program terminations. |
 |
After changing the sort order in a table, the current record pointer was not correctly adapted. |
 |
After saving a record, possibly not the correct record was selected. This problem occurred, when the safety query was activated and the record modification would change the position of the record in the table due to the current sort order. |
 |
When generating reports that contain graphical plans, icons were not properly rendered when the active printer was no color printer. |
 |
In reports that contain graphical plans, connections close to the border of the plan were possibly cut off during rendering. |
 |
The generation of PDF files would not embed all required fonts, so that a PDF document was possibly not correctly displayed on other systems. |
 |
The flickering in the print preview of the report generator was eliminated. |
Version 1.3
New Features
 |
Simplified start of procedures due to additional buttons in the plan execution view. |
 |
Display of procedure descriptions as 'info tip' when moving the mouse over a procedure. |
 |
Calculation of sums in reports for numerical fields, e.g. specific device characteristics. This allows for the calculation of e.g. the overall power consumption or heat emission of device groups. |
 |
The database accesses during report generation have been optimized. This results in a general speedup of the report generator. |
 |
The user manual and the online help have been restructured and extended. |
 |
Support for the database systems DB2/400 on iSeries and MySQL has been added. |
Fixes
 |
The entries in the execution archive were not always sorted chronologically. |
 |
During the rendering of formatted texts, sometimes arbitrary dots were added in the output. |

 |

Fixes
 |
In certain cases, the grouping function didn't display all available groups. |
 |
Plan deletion could cause program crashes under certain conditions. |
 |
