Adagio BankRec 8.1A

June 5, 2007

Compatible with Windows® VistaT.
Compatible with Adagio Lankpaks 8.1A. Lanpaks must be 8.1A for all Adagio 8.1A modules.
Smart Finder can now search on multiple criteria.
Contents of disabled fields are shown in blue rather than dimmed gray. This may be easier to read on some monitors at higher resolutions.
Adagio download files, installs, workstation installs, all workstation install (softrakallwkstallwkst.exe), main program files, and the Adagio Check System utility (chksys.exe) are now signed with a digital certificate using VeriSign to allow you to verify the Publisher is Softrak Systems Inc.
Vista does not support the old style Windows Help (.HLP files). All .HLP files were converted to compiled HTML help (.CHM files), which are supported by Vista.
For security reasons Windows does not permit .CHM help files to be run from a network drive. This is true in XP as well as Vista. The .CHM files must be run from a local drive. Adagio 8.1A installs all .CHM help files to your local hard drive and loads them from there. The workstation install also copies .CHM files to the local drive.
Fax document image files were created in earlier versions using the Softfax printer driver. This driver is not compatible with Vista. In 8.1A versions, faxing documents created with the Specification Designer (invoices, checks, statements, etc.) creates a fax image file directly. The Softrak Softfax driver is no longer used or installed. Third party products that use this driver must be updated. If they do not install the driver and wish to run on XP or earlier Windows versions they must install the driver themselves. Note that to run the Adagio fax server (Fax/Email | Fax Queue) you must have a 'true' fax card (with an on-board fax chip) rather than a Win Fax modem (which emulates a chip in software).
When switching window/task in Vista with Alt-Tab or the new Flip 3D (Windows-Tab) an image of the current Adagio screen is shown rather than just the icon of the Adagio program.
You can now backup Adagio data in zip form to WebSafe, a web-based storage facility. WebSafe is a service which allows you to store your important information in a secure location that you can access from anywhere in the world. See www.websafe.com for details.
Currency symbols other than $ are now supported in reports.
The formatting of dates and text sent to Excel from Smart Finder results has been improved.
A 'User defined' field has been added to the G/L Description 'Send to' options in the Company Profile. This allows you to format the G/L Description field sent to the GL using a combination of fields from the original transaction, batch information (posting sequence, batch number, entry number), and free form text.
Adagio BankRec is Adagio Ledger 9.0A ready. Fields required for future drill-down from Ledger to BankRec are included in the GL transaction batch and will be retrieved by Ledger 8.1A.
The Designer Toolbar now fits on one rather than 2 lines at most common screen resolutions.
The Designer allows you to open statement specifications by using the spec Title under File | Specification Options. This is the same list of titles displayed in the Payables when selecting a statement specification to print, fax or email. Previously you could open the specification by its file name only.
Batches of checks from third-party payroll programs can now be retrieved (as well as imported). Retrieving is simpler than importing and BankRec warns you when there is a payroll batch ready to be retrieved. Check with the payroll developer to determine if their product can create a retrieval batch for BankRec.
You could not edit and save a Bank that was interfaced to Adagio Checks in BankRec 8.0A.
When you posted an imported bank reconciliation the left side of the form (showing the imported transactions) closed, even there were unmatched transactions.
The debit/credit indicator ("D" and "C") in banks statement import templates was from the company's point of view rather than the bank's point of view. This has been reversed. Scotia Bank used this format.
The header description field was always blank when a statement is imported or defaulted in the import template.
Importing a bank statement transaction for zero dollars caused an error. Now a zero dollar transaction is detected when the import file is validated.
Printing a receipt from within the entry after making changes caused an integrity error in some cases.
