    Reports

    ·    Adagio SalesCQ’s standard reports are now created using Crystal Reports 2016, replacing the Crystal Reports 8.5 Print Engine (CRPE32.dll). Reports must be edited or created using Crystal Reports 2013 or higher and Adagio ODBC for access to the data files. Users will notice minor changes to some of the visual elements in the module and a new Print Preview window. The size and position of the Print Preview window are now remembered between sessions by user, so the Workstation options controlling this function have been removed.

    ·    Fields from tables that are not in the original standard report can now be added to modified reports. There are three restrictions: 1) tables can only be added to the main report, not sub-reports; 2) only tables from 9.2A dictionaries can be used; and 3) additional tables must have physical files in the data folder.

    ·    Installs Adagio PrintTool (PT) 9.2A. PT allows you to print / preview custom reports without needing to run Crystal Reports itself or without placing the report on the Custom Reports menu in an Adagio module, and allows reports to be placed on the Windows desktop.

    ·    A 'Report set' button has been added to the toolbar.

    ·    Improved options when printing reports to make selection easier to understand.

    General Features and Miscellaneous

    ·    Supports Automation when Adagio Console is installed. Automation allows you to automate functions in Adagio modules and view, print or email the results from an automation log.

    ·    Adagio SalesCQ now logs user activity within the module, including login/out, menu choices, create/edit and print documents. Logs may be viewed with Adagio Console or Adagio GridView.

    ·    Grids now display the total number of records, as well as a count of the displayed records when a Filter is active. Ignore Style Color button toggles grid between no color and Style colors or no color and banding (if it is enabled in User Preferences).

    ·    Grids may be “banded” with a User Selectable color and banding frequency set under File | User Preferences. Filter Styles may be disabled and replaced with regular banding if desired.

    ·    Filters can now be sorted by Priority.

    ·    Added Filter criteria 'Before today' and 'After today' for Floating Date Ranges.

    ·    Added several new SalesCQ specific Styles for use in Filters.

    ·    Mail merge templates have been changed to use .dotx rather than .dot files.

    ·    Supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) / Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for secure email servers when emailing documents. Added option 'Use TLS/SSL' added to Email Setup function.

    ·    A Listing button was added on the Group Setup window and prints all options or enabled options only for a range of groups. An Entry Templates button in the Group is now used to set up templates rather than having tabs on the Group.

    ·    The Data Integrity Check (DIC) saves results for the last 9 previous runs in files ACWINERR01..09.dat (where .dat is your company data file extension). The current DIC information will always be in ACWINERR. If you do check/rebuild/check without closing the DIC function the results are appended to the same file.

    ·    Adagio SalesCQ 9.2A now installs to the \Softrak\SalesCQ folder and the program name is SalesCQ.exe. Previous versions were installed in \Softrak\ACWin and had program name ACWin.exe.

    ·    New export templates created for Excel format default the file extension to .XLXS rather than .XLS.

    ·    Security Groups are now supported by the Copy Definitions function in Adagio Console.

    ·    Adagio ePrint users can view a PDF of quotes and any attached documents from the Email Queue.

    ·    Adagio ePrint users can attach additional PDFs and other types of documents to emails in the queue, such as Word or Excel. Attachments are shown in a tree view on the Edit Email Entry dialog. Right-click on the tree to add a document. Default folders for attachments can be specified on the Reports Options tab in the Company Profile. These folders are relative to the ePrint relative folder path (or to the data folder if ePrint is not installed).

    ·    Added Excel Direct button to email queue.

    ·    SalesCQ now renders dialogs properly on Ultra High Resolution displays when the font size is anything other than 100% of normal on Windows 8.1 or higher. All Adagio releases dated in September 2016 and later have this problem fixed. For releases prior to this date, the utility program SetScreenForAdagio.EXE is installed in the \Softrak\System folder to correct the problem.

    ·    The Help | About function now has a Consultant tab showing the contact information for your Adagio consultant if they have enabled this option at your site.

    Problems Fixed

    ·    When quote revisions are used, quote notes made on a revised quote were saved for the previous revision.

    ·    Discount % fields on quotes printed with 2 decimals even when Decimal Places was set to 0 in the field properties in the specification editor.

    ·    A false message indicating price is below cost was displayed when entering quote details for items where the pricing unit is different than the stocking unit, and the ‘Display cost information on quotes’ option was off.

    ·    When entering a quote for a ShipTo Address that has no Tax Group, the Tax Status defaulted from the Customer instead of the ShipTo Address.

    ·    An error occurred when you created a quote for a Prospect from an OE order.

    ·    The Detail Type for lines entered in a quote was not remembered for user SYS.

    ·    To skip the Salesperson field in an entry template, a default no longer needs to be selected.

    ·    Fields on Email Cover Sheets, where the same field exists in customers, prospects and quotes, such as the Salesperson, are now loaded as expected. The name of the field from the quote has been changed to include the word “Quote” (e.g. Quote Salesperson). The Prospect Data section has been removed. Use the Customer Data section instead. The fields will be loaded from the Prospect if the quote is for a Prospect. Note: you may need to adjust your existing Cover Sheets.

    ·    SalesCQ stopped responding when a quote was emailed ‘Now’ or ‘Add to Queue’ on stations running Windows 10 “Anniversary Update” (Feature update, version 1607, or later).

    ·    When a range of quotes was emailed from the Print Quotes function, information on the email cover sheet from the first quote was used for all quotes.

    ·    When emailing quotes Now for Prospects, some of the Name and Contact fields were blank in the email subject and cover sheet. A mail merge from the Customer and Prospect functions had the same problem.

    ·    The report filename codes (eg. %USR) were not being saved in report favorites.

    ·    Import Prospects now supports formatted addresses. Address fields can now be imported to their full length. Note: not all fields in Prospects can be imported, for example statistic fields.

    ·    If you started SalesCQ 8.1C from a shortcut with all command line parameters to bypass the login screen, a registration warning message was displayed, when in fact the program was registered.
