Version 5.18e includes updates for Inspector, Picture Album and Inspection Designer

Version 5.18e adds the following improvements

  • Added a new line type that allows sections of categories to be collapsed/expanded which allows Pocket PC users to more easily navigate longer categories.
  • Added an XML export to Inspector
  • Added the option to have a specific file/program called at the end of the send to spreadsheet process Specify the file to be called in Template properties -> Special Instructions by adding ExportSpreadsheet='Name of file' (use single quotes) to the special instructions property.
    NOTE: Any type of file or program recognized by Windows can be called.
  • Added a new option to make reinspections easier. There are 2 new instructions that can be added in Inspection Designer that allows information to be maintained from one inspection to the next and allow for the previous inspection's results to be viewed. The instructions are as follows:
    Reinspect Maintain - this instruction can be added at the line or piece level Where this instruction exists, information is not cleared when Tools -> Reinspection is inspected.
    Reinspect Keep History - This instruction is used at the line level For lines where this instruction exists, inspection data from the current inspection is placed into an information piece that is accessible by clicking the previosu inspection information icon on the line when Tools -> reinspect is selected.
    When you select Tools -> Reinspect, the program will:
    • Move inspection answer data for lines specified with "Reinspect Keep History" into an information icon.
    • Clear all answer data (except where specified with "Reinspect Maintain"
    • Remove all pictures and diagrams that have been added on the fly (last element on the line)
    • Move Final comments into Private Notes
  • Added the ability for instantaneous update of client information and products licensed without requiring e-mail of a license or mailing of a CD.
  • Improved licensing by adding support for different licensing models
  • Sped up the process of copying and pasting categories when working with long reports (reports with 10,000+ lines can now copy/paste in seconds).

Version 5.18e fixes the following issues

  • Fixed the issue with daylight savings time vs Internet time and error #702.
  • Fixed the issue related to IDs not updating correctly when importing categories from another inspection.
  • Fixed the issue related to Check in Date not allowing an update when system is disconnected for more than 30 days.
